Gloria Lewis has taken a simple, loving couple from Arkansas on an adventure that includes a long horseback trip across the top of Arkansas into proving that through love, all things can be endured. With believable characters and delicate details, this story comes to life. I think it would make a great family screenplay. If you are wanting to escape from the complications of our daily existence, buy this book and wait for the perfect rainy day to explore the lives of this early 20th century farm family. You will not be disappointed.
