Winter Wheat
Mildred Walker

At the suggestion of Jenny Murray (who has never steered me off the entertainment expressway) I read this book over the past week. It is remarkable, simple, insightful, and wonderfully descriptive of a land of subtle beauty, and of relationships that, while seemingly simple, are rather complex and deep. The Montana, big sky landscape at times feels barren and lifeless....and at others, rooted in a wellspring of life and virginity. Unforgettable characters and events.

This is a quick read, however you may prolong the finish, just to hold tight to your new friends.

Thanks Jen!
