Produktinformationen zu „Crazy Woman Creek (ePub)“
A "blessedly unromantic" portrait of real women's lives in the contemporary American West (Kathleen Norris).
This wide-ranging collection of essays and poetry reveals the day-to-day lives and experiences of a diverse collection of women in the western United States, from Buddhists in Nebraska to Hutterites in South Dakota to "rodeo moms." A woman chooses horse work over housework; neighbors pull together to fight a raging wildfire; a woman rides a donkey across Colorado to raise money after the tragedy at Columbine. Women recall harmony found at a drugstore, at a powwow, in a sewing circle. Lively, heartfelt, urgent, enduring, Crazy Woman Creek celebrates community-connections built or strengthened by women that unveil a new West.

Pressezitat
“Some groups will sound familiar in all parts of the country, like the ‘casserole women’ in a nameless subdivision taking food to the family of a SIDS victim or the ‘Tupperware ladies’ who make their signature hot dish in response to every birth, death, anniversary, and broken leg. Others seem unique to the West, like the four animal-loving friends from isolated ranches who gather for the births of horses and puppies, ending with a champagne toast, or the woman who conducts tortilla-making lessons for her daughter, then later her grandchildren. Church ladies, sewing and quilting circles, library ‘read-alouds,’ yoga and meditation groups, Uno-playing chemotherapy patients—all have contributed to this thoughtful, restorative collection.” —BooklistKommentar zu "Crazy Woman Creek"
