Fields of Grain

By Malania E Reynolds

A Time of Country Stores, Windmills, and Cattle Ranches . . .The country store was the social center of rural America. Serving as a community center, trading post, and local post office, people gathered around the pot-belly stove to reconnect, share local news, and collect mail. Chandler's Store is one woman's memoir as seen from behind the scarred countertops of early America. In Montana Moon, Elizabeth Thompson is married by proxy to a cattleman in far-off Montana. Unsure what to expect, she arrives to a squeaking windmill, unending starry nights, and more isolation than she can bear. With the rancher's two children to raise, Elizabeth learns that she can only count on one thing to survive. Family becomes everything when everything else is taken away. The Education of Jackson Humboldt is city boy vs. country man. A rebellious teen leaves his Chicago life to become a "dude" on his uncle's vast Wyoming spread. He butts heads with experienced ranch hands, saves his horse from a burning barn and allows the strangers who've taken him in to become a family to him. Life as it once was may be hard to find in today's fast-paced world, but it's alive and well in these charming stories. Once you pick up this book, you won't want to put it down until the final page is turned.
