"Young and pampered Elizabeth Reynolds fulfills a dream: to spend a year on her aunt's ranch in Montana territory before she marries Jonathan Stanton. But nothing she has dreamed has prepared her for this harsh land of majesty and terrors. Or for Vivian Blake. Or for how Elizabeth feels about her. Vivian is a widow who runs her own sheep ranch. She is honest and tough and uncompromising as the unforgiving land she has made her own. Elizabeth is drwan to her with a desperate passion she knows must end with her return to New York. As Elizabeth slowly finds her place among the Montanans with their easy ways and simple living, she comes into ever-increasing conflict with her desires...Montana Feathers is a novel of such astonishing authenticity that you will vividly experience what it is like to live in a "soddy," to run a sheep ranch during torrid summers and lethal winters...to be among strong women in a huge land on America's frontier in the late 1800s." -- Publisher's description.
