'Describes a young woman's emotional and spiritual awakening as she confronts the disappointments and marvels of love.Walker's heroine recognizes that love, like winter wheat, requires faith and deep roots to survive the many hardships that threaten its endurance' - "Belles Lettres". 'You are either a Mildred Walker enthusiast or you are missing one of the best writers on the American scene' - "Philadelphia Inquirer".

He writes, 'It is a story about growing up, becoming a woman, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, within the space of a year and a half. But what a year and a half it is'! Welch offers a brief biography of Walker, who wrote nine of her thirteen novels while living in Montana. Bookseller Inventory # AAS9780803297418
