double-damndest not to show it." They are setting off for a new land, in
America, in Montana. We follow their fortunes for the next
30 years in Two Medicine county at the base of the Rockies: the building
of homes and the raising of families, making a living and making a
life. Here is a tale of the uncertainties of friendship, of brutal
winters and battles of will, and of two loves; one delightful and
heartbreaking in its intensity, the other born of sadness, equally
moving and stoical devotion. Views: 128
