Wolf Willow - Wallace Stegner

This was a wonderful read.  Someone I was working with had recommended the author and had been given the book by his mother.  I read it to see if there was any meaning implied in the gift.
Possibly, the message was to be as the pioneers coming to the desolate prairies of central Canada; stoic, keeping on, bouncing back from crushing hardships. 

Stegner's writing is lyrical, savored for it's imagery.  It's the story of his growing up in the small town of Eastend, Saskatchewan, Canada just as the last of the frontier was conquered and the natives vanquished.  It's a lesson in Canadian history.
