Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For this Bison Books edition, James Welch, the acclaimed author of Winter in the Blood (1986) and other novels, introduces Mildres Walker's vivid heroine, Ellen Webb, who lives in the dryland wheat country of central Montana during the early 1940s. He writes, "It is a story about growing up, becoming a woman, mentally, emotionally, spirtually, within the space of a year and a half. But what a year and a half it is!" Welch offers a brief biography of Walker, who wrote nine of her thirteen novels while living in Montana. Review:"You are either a Mildred Walker enthusiast or you are missing one of the best writers on the American scene." Philadelphia Inquirer Review:"Mildred Walker writes with distinction, and this penetrating story of a young girl's struggle to understand her parents and herself is a sincere, honest, and substantial novel, superb as a picture of family life and as a view of one part of rural America." The Los Angeles Times Review:Walker's writing glows with a simplicity that is admirably suited to the land she loves and to the characters she portrays." The New York Times Review:"The vivid sense of place and region are themselves major achievements." Saturday Review of Literature Review:"The universality which is the prerequisite of good books is here. Mildred Walker can make you know and feel the earth and the wheat. She can evoke almost tangible heat and cold." Book World What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
