Good in Good jacket. Size: 9x5x1; With a graceful simplicity reflecting the land upon which she was nurtured, Linda Hasselstrom presents a compelling, touching collection of interlinked essays about growing up a woman on the windswept Great Plains. In "Feels Like Far, " Hasselstrom paints an intimate portrait of family, love, hard work, and survival in a land where nothing is taken for granted: a father who insists upon self-reliance even as he loses his ability to care for his wife and his ranch; a horse that helps the author gain an independence that places her at odds with a culture of male leadership; a badger that offers insight into his human counterparts; a friend dying of AIDS who discloses the beauty and difficulties of a close-knit community; a prairie fire that threatens her family's ranch and shows the land's resiliency; and a visit to a cemetery that reveals her ties to community and her decision to leave. With a poet's touch, Hasselstrom evokes a sense of a people and a place that illuminates the Great Plains character in a rare and powerful book.
