Sharon Butala tells the story of her life, focusing on her relationship with the land after she marries and moves to her husband's farm in the southwest corner of Saskatchewan. Her descriptions of the landscape, the remaining native short grass prairie are vivid, and the hay and pasture land, conjure vivid images.

I waited so long to read this book, I wish I liked it better. Her comments about scientists are annoying. I stopped reading when she said she didn't see things like a scientist, but like a human being. (Excuse me??) I don't think she must know any, or many, biologists.
