About this book
Wealth and comfort surround Jerry Swaim at her aunt and uncle's country estate, but her prospects also depend on land in Kansas. Aunt Jerusha treats the young woman's future as something she can arrange, while a report on the distant property raises practical questions about crops, water and value. Margaret Hill McCarter sets this family tension against the contrast between a carefully tended country estate and the uncertain conditions of the West.
In the Sage Brush Valley, Jerry discovers that spreading sand threatens the inheritance she had imagined would support her. She asks ranchman Joe Thomson how she can support herself, and their conversation begins to build a friendship through plain speaking and shared difficulties. This American novel offers readers a story of money, independence and changing expectations, with the work of making a life closely tied to the condition of the land.
