Publisher's Comments
Buyer, a novelist and poet of the West, offers a memoir account of her initiation into traditional backcountry ways in an isolated Montana homestead with a Vietnam veteran survivalist in the 1970s-80s. The romantic city girl with dreams of going back to the land learns to break horses, chop wood, track and hunt, butcher animals, and tan hides. Her day to day life, her isolation, and her physical and emotional dependence on a hard and sometimes cruel man recall the lives of countless frontier women of the previous century. Her journey from girl to woman, her struggle to become independent while holding on to her dream of living close to the land, will inspire all readers. B&w personal photos are included. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
