Synopsis

A Spur Award–winning Author Sodbusters are about equal to farm animals in Wyoming’s ranching community in the 1870’s. Teenagers Zach and Carrie Bennett, determined to escape the scorn, set out for Texas on foot. Babes on the prairie, they are ignorant of the geography and danger. Their incredible journey shows them human nature at its most base, and reveals their own capacity for violence. But they also discover the other side of humanity.

About this title

From Library Journal:

Bent on "self-determination," teenagers Zachariah Bennett and his sister Carrie flee their harsh, unforgiving father and the grinding poverty of 1870s Wyoming, where "sodbusters" dwelling in miserable sod homes must struggle to make a living on poor farmland. They head for a new life in TexasZach to become a cowboy and Carrie to marry Rio, whom she believes to be as faithful as she is. Traveling 500 miles, they face down considerable danger, but the story ends well for all who deserve it. With a bit of a surprise to enliven a predictable plot, this is a pleasant story for an evening's reading. Sister Avila, Acad. of Holy Angels, Minneapolis
