Of Lizards and Angels: A Saga of Siouxland

From dust jacket notes: "...The Wind Blows Free, a personal reminiscence of a 1934 hitchniking trek from Doon, Iowa, to the shining Western mountains, is a trip which the author said 'released his soul.' It is an odyssey of the outsetting novelist, an adventure into some of the beginnings of Frederick Manfred's art. For that reason alone The Wind Blows Free is an important book. But it is also a rich and wonderfully humorous account, a moving picture of the young artist, in which Manfred sits (that's too quiescent a term somehow) for his own portrait. In Vivian, South Dakota, a dust-bowl town of boardwalks and moaning winds, youthful Frederick Feikema Manfred meets Minerva Baxter enroute West with her 1926 Essex and her spinster's phobias. As a condition for his becoming her passenger-driver he must stand for a portrait - this time a chalk outline of his six-foot, nine-inch frame to be drawn by an attendant on a gas-station wall as Miss Minerva's precaution against any criminal ardor latent in the young man. Examining the great human map which results, she pronounces it satisfactory and say it's time to be on their way...."

From back cover: Carla Simmons, a golden blooming young girl, is torn between the strict and solid values learned in her small Midwestern community and the startling strength of her own awakening womanhood. With her parents' reluctant consent, Carla follows the man she loves, now a soldier to the big city, where he betrays her, and in the aftermath of her shattered dream she is subjected to physical and emotional violence she could scarcely have imagined in the robust innocence of her upbringing. In the twenty-second novel by this powerful writer, the reader is immersed in the early 1940's-an era when the private struggles of everyday Americans were being fought against the backdrop of the greatest conflict of the country.
