Helpful Score: 2

This is a wonderful book about life in rural Oregon during WWI. The main character, Martha Lessen, is a young cowgirl searching for work breaking horses "to saddle." As the story opens, she is itinerant, but she is taken in by a family and eventually by a community. This story portrays kindness and friendship as critical glue for the survival of both individuals and their community. An absorbing book, but also a quick read.
