Beschreibung

A widowed homesteader is determined to make a life in the unforgiving mountains of late 19th century Oregon in this ';powerful novel of struggle and loss' (Dallas morning News).Acclaimed author Molly Gloss drew on pioneer diaries and old family stories to write this modern Western classic of a solitary woman's frontier life. In the 1890s, Lydia Sanderson leaves her old life behind and journey's to Jump-Off Creek to make her way as a homesteader. Enduring the hardships and deprivations of Oregon's high mountain country, Lydia finds both courage and community in her determination to survive. This ';unsparing portrait of pioneer life, recounted simply and without romanticism' displays an ';intimate understanding of the harsh physical conditions' of the Western frontier, as well as the methods and practices that made such conditions livable (Publishers Weekly).
