![]() ![]() I love her understated ways of telling news of utmost personal importance. Elinore Stewart wrote wonderful, descriptive, humorous letters to a friend, and through them we are offered a glimpse of real life in Wyoming at the turn of the century. Not only is the premise interesting - a young widow with a small daughter who decides to go out West and claim her own homestead - the writing is excellent. I even want to read it aloud to my husband Evan. ![]() In fact, it was so thoroughly enjoyable that I’ve already recommended it to several people, and will probably buy a hard copy. The wonderful cover caught my eye right away and the title was intriguing, but the clincher was the fact that I could read it right away on my iPod - for free! (I’m not the biggest e-book reader, but it’s helpful at the moment when I have very limited space.) I think it was a “Books Recommended for You” link on either Amazon or Goodreads. ![]() I can’t remember where I first saw the book Letters of a Woman Homesteader. ![]()
