About this title

From the Publisher:

Carrie Young's widely acclaimed Nothing To Do But Stay was a powerful and moving testament to her mother, who, at age twenty-five, set out for the Western North Dakota prairies to homestead 160 acres alone. Now, with The Wedding Dress, this extraordinary author goes back to the same time and place to bring us seven unforgettable tales of fiction spanning the century from its first decade through the dust bowl to the early 1980's, these are stories that celebrate the profound dignity of ordinary lives as they reflect the tremendous storytelling gifts of a master of her craft.

About the Author:

Young is a graduate of the University of Minnesota.
