Part of the Novel

I just read about A24's Waves:

Waves will rip your heart out and then gently return it to you, fuller than before. Check theaters and get your tickets now!

I want a novel that does this. To make the centering of the novel about family, while other fun, scary, sad things happen.

My two mothers will be a part of this.

My father, too.

Don't these other character's have family?  Can't we include their story?

Topeka will become a part of this story. The filmmaker will not want to travel here, will not want to visit.

People leave, but what about those here?

Brown v. Board? Fiesta?

Volga Germans?

AT&SF

factories

Washburn

FCC > John Brown > Bleeding Kansas > 

Your project just got sucked in.
