Mysteries of Love and Grief - Reflections on a Plainswoman's Life

Informationen zum Autor A native Texan, Sandra Scofield divides her time between Missoula, Montana, and Portland, Oregon. She has written seven novels, a memoir, and a craft book for writers. An excerpt from Mysteries of Love and Grief won first place in Narrative magazine's 2014 Spring Story Contest. She is an avid landscape painter. Klappentext Frieda Harms was born into a farming family in Indian Territory in 1906. Widowed at thirty and left with three children in the midst of the Great Depression, she worked as a farmer, a railroad cook, a mill worker, and a nurse in four states. She died in 1983. Sandra Scofield, Frieda's granddaughter wrestles with the meaning of her grandmother's saga of labour and loss, trying to balance her need to understand with respect for Frieda's mystery.
