Child of the Prairie is a remarkable window. . . Its pages allow us to see the endless skies and vast horizons of the Great Plains, experience the harsh winters and devastating droughts, and witness the growing pains of a small Montana town. But what makes this window so unique is that at the same time, we are given access to the intimate longings and dreams, the hopes and sorrows of one particular Great Plains homestead family as it struggles to wrest a livelihood from a stubborn land. In Child of the Prairie Keni Brayton shares treasured letters, her mother's reminiscences, photos, documents, extensive research, and her own creative words in this very delightful and distinctive memoir of her family.
