Wild Roses and Prairie Needles: Stories from the Montana Highline

What do you do when you’ve fallen through the ice on the way to school, or when your plow team has taken off with the harrower and dad is underneath it?

These tales from the town of Chinook and the farm where Ellen grew up with three siblings, bulls, pigs, trucks, tractors, fires, floods and the occasional snake are an antidote for the complications of the modern life.
