"A Blizzard Year" -Gretel Ehrlich

This is a story about a ranching family. It begins in February and goes through the year telling what gets done on an annual basis and what is especially different or difficult this year. It's a simple enough tale told from the point-of-view of the daughter.

Although it's a modern setting (for 1999), it still reads like a tale of yesteryear.
