It is a novel about a young widowed mother who has accepted a job to assist with a dairy farm in Wyoming. In this collection of letters she describes her experiences at new job to former employer, Mrs. Coney. Pruitt's charming descriptions of work, travels, neighbours, animals, land and sky have an authentic feel. Her writings are clear, witty and entertaining. Captivating!
