STANDS A CALDER MAN----JANET DAILEY

It must have been extremely hard living back in the early 1900's. That is what this book is about. The hard times running a cattle ranch with draughts and insects invading all the ranches and farms in Montana.
But of course there is a beautiful love story as well. You can't just turn love off even when one of the lovers is married to another person.
This is a very moving book, well written. It makes you feel as tho you know these people and would love to have lived in this time period.
