Synopsis:
Grace Stone Coates published two books of poetry and the acclaimed novel, Black Cherries, but it is in her letters where the real story of Coates is found. She had a long, very personal correspondence with William Saroyan (The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze), and she regularly exchanged letters with Montana literary lion H.G. Merriam, Native American writer Frank Bird Linderman, Charles M. Russell art historian James Rankin, and others. It is a very engaging adventure to find the brilliant, passionate woman behind the demure housewife who wrote the local news for the county newspapers.
About the Author: Lee Rostad was born in Roundup, Montana, graduated from the University of Montana and spent a year doing graduate work in London, before marrying Phil Rostad, a rancher in the Musselshell Valley. She is the author of several books and has received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from Rocky Mountain College in 1995 and the Governor's Award in Humanities in 2001. She currently serves on the Montana Historical Society Board of Trustees.
