"William Studebaker's reminiscence of his grandparents and parents, and of growing up in the backcountry of southern Idaho in the post-World War II period, is at once humorous and heart-wrenching. It is a story of mail-order brides and the eccentric characters the author learned to love in the family-run old folks home.
It is a tale of love and rape, of vast expectations, and of wandering with no place left to go, when southern Idaho sometimes turned out to be just short of the promise it seemed to hold for those seeking new lives."--BOOK JACKET. "One of Idaho's foremost poets and essayists, Studebaker reveals his family's story in plain prose, free verse, and photo snapshots."--BOOK JACKET.
