In this extraordinary literary debut, now available in paperback and filled with a poetic attention to detail and a stunning clarity of prose, third-generation homesteader Judy Blunt recounts her hardscrabble life on the unforgiving prairies of eastern Montana.
On a ranch miles from nowhere, Judy Blunt grew up with cattle and snakes, outhouse and isolation, epic blizzards and devastating prairie fires. She also grew up with a set of rules and roles prescribed to her sex -- strictures she eventually had no choice but to flee, taking along three children and leaving behind a confused husband and the only life she'd ever known. With unflinchingly precise and clear prose, Blunt has fashioned an unsentimental masterpiece of one woman's arduous but triumphant life.
