Originally published in 1987, Hasselstrom's account of ranch life on the western edge of South Dakota covers a year of hard work, in beastly cold and unbearably hot temperatures, haying in the summer, moving cattle in the fall, and calving in the spring. In between, she finds time to write and to meditate with her poetry. Her style is intimate and detailed. She describes the terror of a prairie fire; the struggles to bring calves into the world; the daily drudgery of feeding the cattle in the winter. Her drama comes with the cycles of nature; with the endless absorption in birth and death; with the lives of neighbors and friends; and with the weather, which is a character in the story of her life.
