Circling Back Home: A Plainswoman's Journey

"[Darcy] Lipp-Acord is one woman, but she tells a dozen stories, her ancestors' voices mingling with her own: the farmers' daughter, the Catholic woman, the wife, the mother, the artist." — Linda Hasselstrom

The target audiences for Circling Back Home are women involved with agriculture, faith-based, or from the Great Plains region, residents of South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and other ranching states, and fans of memoirs.

Darcy Lipp-Acord is the granddaughter of German-Russian immigrants. She grew up in Timber Lake, South Dakota, on a farm worked by three generations of her family. She currently lives on a ranch with her husband, Shawn, and their six children near the Montana-Wyoming border. She won the Wyoming Arts Council's Frank Nelson Doubleday Award for women writers, and her essays have appeared in several anthologies including Woven on the Wind.

Linda M. Hasselstrom, who founded the Windbreak House Writing Retreats, writes poetry and nonfiction from her ranch in South Dakota. Her latest book is Dirt Songs: A Plains Duet.

This book is of great interest to many readers, due to the continued interest in what life is like in the Great Plains and "Wild West" region.
