Edith Magnusson, the hard-working heroine in The Lager Queen of Minnesota is actually a composite of some of the women closest to author J. Ryan Stradal — his own mother and grandmothers. Stradal wasn’t seeing the strong, Midwestern women who raised him reflected well in contemporary fiction. So he decided to write those characters himself.
