A man's memory of his boyhood days on a homestead in central Montana told so well it will leave an indelible mark on the reader. 
The ever-changing adventure of family relationships and farm life, enhanced by a remarkable collie dog vividly recreates the time and place of Eunson's childhood. Taking the reader back in history to a Montana and a lifestyle almost forgotten, you won't want to put this one down!
