Readers' Annotation: Spencer Davis and his family work the land of Wyoming.

Summary:  Spencer Davis grew up in Wyoming where he meets his wife Elizabeth who is visiting on a family vacation.  Spencer moves east for school to be closer to Elizabeth.  Eventually they return to Wyoming where they raise their three sons.

Evaluation: A sparce and haunting story of the men of the Davis family.  Readers will be left wanting more; however, they will be strangely satisfied.  It is the story of a love for one another and the land they work to survive.  I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book.  The author did an amazing job conveying emotion and a strong sense of setting with out using a lot of words.

Genre:

• Western
