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.

This book is the winner of the 1994 Spirit of Saskatchewan Award,The Saskatchewan Non-fiction Award and was nominated for the 1994 Governor General's Award. From the back cover: "In 1976 Sharon Butala left a promising academic career to marry a cattle rancher in southwest Saskatchewan. Overwhelmed by the isolation of her new life, she struggled to find a connection with the land that encircled her. Through her dreams and visions, Butala embarks on a spiritual journey to define herself as a woman and as a writer, learning along the way to find a guiding force in Nature. Evocative and moving, [this book] is a revelation of self and an affirmation of the healing power of Nature that will echo in the mind and heart."
