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.
