Returning from the war to manage the family ranch in eastern Oregon, Kurt Glover confronts familial challenges to his new role. Yet, Kurt's decision to relocate his family to a remote cattle ranch in Wyoming introduces risks to his young family that he never imagined. It is a tale of external forces tearing at the ranching roots of a family, recounted from the points-of-view of the father, Kurt, and his older daughter, Linda. With the disintegration of the life they have known together, while Linda is thrust into the glamour world of televised wrestling, instant religion, and people desperate to reclaim a daughter they have lost through a tragic accident, her father is struggling to reestablish himself as the family breadwinner by taking on jobs in central California that are foreign to his upbringing. 650 0 $a Rural families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ranch life $z Wyoming $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Ranch life $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01089735 650 7 $a Rural families $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101623 651 0 $a California $v Fiction. 651 7 $a California $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 651 7 $a Wyoming $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204583 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014110.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F502DB4CBEC911E7B248943F97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
