As a young teenage girl in Idaho during the 1960's, I remember standing in local stores surveying the drab, old surroundings and longing to be where things were fresh, new, and by all means hip. Walker's story of the young Ellen Webb, living on a Montana dry-farm in the 1940's was at first a little too close to home. I knew that character and prayed the wheat would come in so that Ellen's mom and dad could send her to college. The next two years of Ellen's life proves to be riveting, heartbreaking, and real. Is life more than the metaphoric dry-farm? Where is the truth? The answers slowly come and in ways you will never guess. Walker's writing is tight, clear and the story is presented with such depth of power that I am actually considering a reread. I never reread. Don't miss this amazing read.

There are over 60,000 books on the main floor for display with many others listed on net. All genre (science fiction, mystery, fiction, contemporary romance, historical romance, non-fiction, history, etc.) includes paperbacks and hardbacks. My speciality is putting together sets in all genre. If you don't see the book listed in my online inventory, send an e-mail as I just may have a copy on the floor. I opened the store in Dec. 1976. with only 1500 books and have grown through the years until the present location in 1983. Come check us out on facebook.
