Book excerpt: "I loved the tumbleweeds that rolled free in the wind for miles, the wild geese, the red-winged blackbirds, the meadowlarks & their song, the flowers that dotted the earth & my faithful horse Queenie. I loved to hear the howling of the coyotes. Their lonely cries told me to be grateful for the security of our little house with my family around me. I loved the free nature of life without bonds or price. If only it could be so." In a book destined to touch many hearts, Sylvia Mackey tells a warm & poignant story of growing up in the Dakotas in the challenging 1920s. With Willa Cather-like simplicity, she paints an extraordinary picture of rural America during the last years of its pioneer farming era & portrays the figures in her book larger than life-honest, simple, courageous people whose long shadows help us measure our own stature today. Her words provide renewal of the inspiration we all take from the simple life we have turned our backs on, yet yearn for deep in our hearts. Sylvia Mackey shares her joys & laughter, the good times & the bad in a book written for all of us who wish to know "the way it was" & to seek in the strengths of the past an affirmation of the future. ECHOES FROM THE PRAIRIE is a book worth cherishing. Don't miss this one.
