Book Description
Her heart aches for his return... but is the distance between them measured by more than miles? Anna Mae isn't sure her husband is being completely honest about his job with the Works Progress Administration. They're building a castle? In Kansas? Harley promised he'd be at the worksite only long enough to earn enough cash to keep their farm. But the money hasn't arrived, and Anna Mae fears Harley may be gone for good. Harley Phipps has never been a man in need of luxuries, but he wants to do right by his wife and two little girls. He was about to lose all he'd worked for if he didn't do something—there was no way he could pass up the government job, even if it meant leaving his family for a while. Anna Mae was awful mad when he sold the mules, packed his bag, and headed out. If only she’d send him a short note to let him know she and the girls are all right...

I loved this book.......2007-09-11
You can't ask for more. This book is one that you get into quickly, read in a few days, and pass on to a friend. You will ENJOY reading this book- and that's what it's all about, right?! It about real life, yet is wholesome and will stick with you. And it brought my friend closer to God!
A lash which didnt hurt.......2007-09-06
This book starts out very strong, very intriguing and promises a lot but it failed to deliver on the same note midway through.
When I started this book, I was reminded of my favourite book; Redeeming Love. I thought that 'Where Willows Grow' would even if not rival it, give it a run for it's money; a piece of Christian fiction that wouldn't paint with words the equivalent of those pictures you see on Jehovah's Witness publications but that would paint pictures of real life, true Christian struggles and triumph.
It is an intriguing, tough start that undeniably invites you to see this book through. I couldn't put it down when I first picked it up. Even though I knew from the beginning how it'd end, I looked forward to how it would all unravel in between.
The writer makes one too many uses of characters as plot devices, instead of characters worth caring about. The ending wrapped up too neatly and perhaps shoddily, I nearly gagged from it and I seriously wished the writer could have held out a little and taken more time to finish this book and a better middle and ending would have come to her and this book would have turned out a whole lot better. It had a lot of potential but did not quite deliver.
However, I still give it 4 stars because the beginning of the book to it's middle is well worth it; you can feel the heat, the hardness of the land, strongly sense frustrated love and enjoy Dottie's cuteness.
Wonderful.......2007-08-05
Sawyer is a wonderful writer with a real feel for human emotion. She somehow manages to place her readers right smack dab in the middle of her stories. You feel each character's pain and heartbreak and then, joy.
I eagerly await each new book by this author. A word of warning: have your tissues handy for this one.
Misery & Redemption.......2007-08-03
Reviewed by AJ Cooper for Reader Views (7/07)
Anna Mae and Harley are two hard-working parents trying to work the farm in Kansas in 1936 that they inherited from Anna Mae's parents. It has not rained in a long time and it is harder and harder for them to produce anything of value from the farm and to raise two daughters, Dorothy and Marjorie. Harley comes up with this grand idea; he would travel all the way across Kansas to help build a castle. In the process of discovering this faraway job opportunity, he sells of the mules. He is so proud of his decision and the fact he is able to not only bring home some food for his family, but to also bring home specials treats for everyone.
Anna Mae is now left to tend to the farm with the help of the overly-friendly neighbor Jack, her long-ago boyfriend. Jack does many things to ensure that Anna Mae doubts her husband's intentions, even going as far as hiding mail between the two of them. He also holds Harley's paychecks so that Anna Mae has no way to pay the taxes due on the property. Fortunately Mr. Berkley, Jack's dad, discovers what Jack is up to before it is too late and is able to save the farm for Anna Mae. Jack is furious because he had so many plans for him and what he thinks is his new family.
Harley, in the meantime, has started his walk across Kansas to his new job. Along the way he meets the Farley family and promises to allow Dirk, their son, to travel with him for a possible job at the castle. They both are able to start work on the castle and come across many pitfalls and an accident. Harley does not send word home of the accident because he thinks Anna Mae is horribly mad at him.
I really enjoyed reading "Where Willows Grow," and could not put it down until I had completed it. I could totally understand the desperation for survival during those horrible times of no rain in Kansas, with the dust just blowing and blowing. I felt I was part of the family and would get so mad at Jack for all of the devious things he was doing to win over Anna Mae's heart. I was so relieved when Jack's dad discovered his plot and stepped in to save Anna Mae. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a little bit of Kansas history and for a touching story. I wanted "Where Willows Grow" to go on further so I could see what would happen next, and I was disappointed when the book ended.
Enjoyable Step Back in Time.......2007-05-18
This book has Kim Sawyer's signature depth of characterization. As the reader, I quickly fell in love with Anna and her struggles. The characters were rich and diverse. Harley is a man who has pulled himself up and works hard to support his family. Jack has a successful dairy farm, but is focused on the love that's been denied him. Dirk is a man who will teach Harley what sacrifice is about. And Anna is a woman trying to make the best of an impossible situation.
I also love the way Kim makes the setting come alive. She pulls together unknown pieces of Kansas history that add richness and depth to the plot. I also enjoyed the fact that this book was set during the Depression. This has been a time period that has been overlooked by many historical authors, yet Kim makes it come to life in a manner that kept me engaged from page one.

The Children's Blizzard.......2007-09-09
If you like history and weather and pioneers, this is the book for you. A lot of my historical society friends read this after I recommended it and they all felt they learned a lot and appreciated the author's attention to detail. A little advance warning and knowledge about weather fronts could have prevented quite a few deaths. Most of the towns must have had a telegraph and some of the townspeople could have spread the word, but it didn't happen. As a result, children died.
Excellent writing and research!
A Fascinating Tale.......2007-07-24
David Laskin brings the subject to life with his well-researched personal stories. I highly recommend this book.
a moving tribute to victims combined with history and science.......2007-05-29
Mr. Laskin builds the story slowly by telling us the history of a number of immigrant families whose blizzard experience forms the core of the story. We learn of their hardships in traveling to the US and earlier hardships they faced on the midwest prairies. He gives the background of the Signal Corps that was charged with weather reporting and forcasting and the politics that affected their structure. He also explains weather phenomena and terminology as it was known then and now.
He reveals how the mild weather before the blizzard lulled many people into going outside and permitting their children to walk to rural schools.
The speed and intensity of the blizzard was astounding and he vividly describes the impact on people and the uncertainty they faced: do we try to get home or wait it out where we are? When the blizzard ended, the searching began and he describes how hard it was to find the lost victims -- in some cases it took 5 days to locate people that were buried in drifts just a few hundred feet from a pioneer home.
Added to the actual stories and histories of some victims, he also describes in detail how hypothermia affects the mind and the body.
It is a moving story that brings out the harsh existence and the tragedy that these settlers faced.
Read It In January.......2007-05-01
I'm nuts about gripping non-fiction. This book is a freaking gem. The blizzard took place in 1888 and killed hundreds. The book covers the immigrants who settled the plane states, this part is interesting to me because I'm from the Midwest. I know nothing about weather forcasting but I learned more about weather from this book than I have in my life. He descibes the body's response to cold weather too and that is pretty interesting. The description of the blizzard is brutal and you could read this book in Mexico in July and it would make you shiver.
mother nature's wrath.......2007-04-20
After reading this account of a great tragedy, I can't help but think about what these early settlers endured. I find myself thinking about this book everytime I complain because there's a little snow on my walkway!! Very compelling and detailed telling of a sad story.

Book Description
Reading the prairie
It's the 1880s, Noah works hard on the family farm and roams free on the Colorado prairie. One day his Aunt Dora arrives to give him some schooling. Noah doesn't think he needs it. What use is reading on the prairie? But what Noah discovers will change his life forever.
Customer Reviews:
My reluctant reader loved this one!.......2007-08-31
My son read this in 2nd grade, and he was beginning to struggle with reading. The story is about a young boy who is "tricked" into learning by his aunt, a teacher. My son loved that the boy in the story was learning and didn't even know it. We both enjoyed this book.
if you like Little House on the Prairie try this.......2004-02-18
Prairie School is about a nine year old boy named Noah. He and his family have just moved from Maine to Colorado. He loves being there on the open prairie. He feels free. One day his mother tells his they are going to have a visitor. It's his Aunt Dora and she is coming to teach him to read. Naoh doesn't like the idea at all. Once Aunt Dora shows Noah her way of teaching he catches on and enjoys learning new things.
The book is part of the I Can Read series. It's a level 4, for grade 2-4. This is a good introduction to historical fiction.
I would recommed this book. It would make a great read aloud while learning about the 1880's.
Book Description
The North American prairie extends across eighteen states and provinces in the heartland of the United States and Canada, and many prairie preserves are within easy driving distance of large cities. This new field guide provides detailed profiles of 48 major North American prairie preserves and capsule descriptions of 120 smaller preserves. Each preserve profile includes practical information on what times of year to visit, how to get there, where to go hiking and camping--and even boating.

More than 250 stunning color photos illustrate everything from scarab dung beetles and orchids to bison wallows and hailstorms.
Customer Reviews:
Great depth & breadth of knowledge--Highly recommended.......2007-03-20
This Peterson Field Guide is an enormously interesting and valuable aid to exploring the North American prairie. The authors tell you when to go, how to prepare and what you can expect to see - from flowers to wildlife to artifacts to geological features - in 18 states and provinces. And they tell you about the history of what you're seeing: "Grass has been around for a long time, perhaps 50 million or 60 million years." So there is a lot of history out there - and this guide is full of its gems. In reading about prairie areas that I know well, I found the guide to be unfailingly accurate - while its great depth and breadth of knowledge were able to surprise me with a little something unexpected at each prairie area.
For instance, in the Comanche National Grassland, you'll learn about Colorado's Dust Bowl drought, dinosaur tracks, Lesser Prairie-Chickens, kites - and a river whose name changes over time from the Spanish "Rio de las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio" (River of Lost Souls) through the "Purgatoire" and sometimes ends up in the western cowboy "Picket Wire." In the Pawnee National Grassland you'll learn about a sign that quotes a long ago Pawnee chief who said "Grass no good upside down." In the 1930s farmers found out that he was right - this was land that would blow away in the Great Depression wind without the native grasses to hold it down. All these gems add up to a timeless sense of a timeless place - the North American Prairie. Highly recommended.
A Wonderful Guide to the Prairie.......2007-02-18
The North American Prairie is a wonderful guide for those who know the prairie and those who wish to. This guide focuses on 48 prairie preserves and includes a comprehensive and entertaining array of information, including the plants and wildlife of each area, its natural history, and its unique features, such as fireflies or wood lilies. It is illustrated with amazing photos that capture the singular beauties of the prairie, as well as a full complement of practical information for visitors, such as weather, optimal times to visit, and information on hiking and camping.
The book is beautifully written and filled with rich details. It is informed by a deep knowledge and appreciation of this varied and often under-appreciated area, and infused with poetry that makes this book not a dry guide but a living, breathing work of art as well as science. For example:
"Magic happens when, under a prairie sky, you are lulled to sleep by owls and awakened by meadowlarks."
This is an absolutely wonderful book and an essential part of any nature lover's library.
In some ways tells almost too much about the Prairies.......2005-07-16
I wanted learn something about the prairie system that once existed in North America and thought this book would be a good choice for doing that. I bought the hardcover edition because I had the idea that it would be a little more durable, it's coatpocket sized but be sure your pocket is well made, this little book is heavy(seems to be put together better than I'd expect for a paperback too).
The first 82 pages cover the area in general with sections on history, plant biology, wildlife and insects, and a short bit on Human life there too. Most of the pictures in the book are found in this first part.
The bulk of the book covers the various prairies in the U.S. and Canada with a chapter on each state or province (one small map for each). You'll get a short history/description of each major prairie as well as information on some of the plant and animal life to be found there. Directions are given for finding each place. Information on best times to visit, hiking/camping, weather and a phone number or two for more information are also given. In addition to the main prairies, at the end of each chapter there's a listing of, I guess, lesser prairies with not much more than phone numbers, a very short description and directions.
I would have liked more pictures of the individual prairies to get a better idea of what each one looks like, plant, bird, animal and insect pictures would've been nice too. There's so much information/territory covered here that your eyes can almost glaze over from looking at it. It might be enough to help you decide which one to go to on vacation but if you want more detail on a specific location you'll need to go elsewhere. There are 5 websites on page 496 that I haven't tried, they might be of some help.
Good short descriptions of prairie preserves all over.......2005-04-10
This is not a guide to all the different types of plants and animals you'll find in the prairie, nor to how the ecosystem works. The book is a state-by-state (with some Canadian listings also) description of prairie preserves accessible to the public. Two or three preserves in each state are given fairly detailed descriptions (half a dozen pages or less) and several more preserves in each state are given a couple of paragraphs each. Each preserve description contains information on the outstanding features of that place; sometimes these are geological, but more often plants or especially animal. Some minimal climate data is included, and an important paragraph on when are the best times to visit.
Much of this information is available in fragmentary form over the internet, but it is worthwhile to have this consolidated complete in one place, and in a form you can take on a road trip. A good guide to seeing this ecosystem (which is highly endangered and doesn't get nearly enough attention, though not a "great" book.
Book Description
The Tallgrass Restoration Handbook is a hands-on manual that provides a detailed account of what has been learned about the art and science of prairie restoration and the application of that knowledge to restoration projects throughout the world.
Chapters provide guidance on all aspects of the restoration process, from conceptualization and planning to execution and monitoring. Appendixes present hard-to-find data on plants and animals of the prairies, seed collection dates, propagation methods, sources of seeds and equipment, and more. Also included is a key to restoration options that provides detailed instructions for specific types of projects and a comprehensive glossary of restoration terms.
Written by those whose primary work is actually the making of prairies, The Tallgrass Restoration Handbook explores a myriad of restoration philosophies and techniques and is an essential resource for anyone working to nurture our oncevibrant native landscapes back to a state of health.

Just a reprint of 1997 edition.......2006-09-26
If you don't already have the original 1997 edition, then this is definitely a 5 star title. However, if you DO have the original, don't bother to buy this one. Despite the various developments mentioned in the preface to this 2005 edition -- advances in no-till planting techniques, restoration strategies for woodland wildflowers, methods for integrating native biodiversity into agriculture, and exploding Internet resources -- none are dealt with here. There is no updated information about weed problems and herbicides, despite the ongoing advance of invasives and development of new products. Lots has happened in the field in the decade since the prior edition was written, but you learn none of it here. This is just a reprint of the original -- and this is quite disappointing.
That said, what is covered is truly excellent. It just could have been far better with a thorough rewrite.
The Tallgrass Restoration Handbook : For Prairies, Savannas,.......2001-07-30
Let me just say that it is nice that someone wrote more than just what plants to use. It is fairly easy to find prairie journals and books that describe everything except how to implement your prairie project. Packard had the good sense to know that seeding rates and implementation techniques are necessary information.
Amazing.............2001-01-05
This is a top rate restoration hand book. Amazing amount of information from people who are out doing the work. It is a collection of essays/chapters written by the front-runners in the field. Everything you wanted to know from site selction to seed collection to fire management. Since it is written by actual prairie restorationists, not theorists it is practical and easy to understand. I will recomend it to everyone who is interested in the field.
The prairie restoration and management bible........1999-08-18
As a prairie biologist, I refer to this seminal volume frequently. It is the very best compendium of prairie restoration and management information.
Anyone who has been taken by the ecological romance of the tallgrass prairie, and hopes either to know in detail the ecology of these biomes, or to plant or manage one, needs to have this in the personal library. It's mostly technical, but wonderfully engaging for the "prairieophile." One doesn't really know the prairie until having read this book.

This book makes Illinois look great........2002-11-23
I love this book. The pictures are awesome, many of which were taken in the early 80's. Farms dominate the pictures. If you like pictures of barns, prairies, or trees you'll want to buy this book. It's just too bad these pictures aren't large and ion frames.
Austere Zen-like beauty.......2002-07-27
This is the book that I show to people when I try vainly to explain in words why a prairie view or a prairie skyscape is more inspiring to me than a mountain range. Although a few of the photos are a little too posed and sentimental, the finest of them convey the power and austere beauty of this often-dismissed part of the country. Akin in their severe beauty to Zen or to Shaker design, the finest of these photographs will catch at your heart and your mind.
Prairiescapes is 100+ pages of visual poetry.......2000-04-21
This collection of timeless photographs eloquently expresses the strength and sustenance we midwesterners draw from our environment. "Praireiscapes" reveals what many of us would never have taken notice of or been able to explain with words on our own--that the midwestern landscapes are glorious, and beautiful in a profound, enduring way. Kanfer has another book, "On Second Glance" which picks up where "Praireiscapes" ends, and there is an annual calendar of photographs widely available.I recommend them highly for anyone who appreciates fine art photography.
Striking photography of the Midwest........1998-06-22
Kanfer certainly has an eye for the little details that give the scenery of the Midwest its own particular charm. Beautiful landscapes captured by a master photographer. A "must" for those living in the region, as well as those like myself who've moved on to other places and enjoy reacquainting ourselves with surroundings once familiar.

Book Description
Ever wonder why cowboys sing? Or where Henry Starr's treasure is buried? Or what legend lies behind the origin of the word "rawhide"? The prairies and plains are bursting with stories, a region whose flat openness belies a colorful history that's now captured in this cornucopia of colorful tales.
David Dary is a master storyteller and award-winning historian who was born in the region and still calls it home. In this book, he shares forty forgotten tales that capture the history, romance, and lore of early life on the plains and prairie-rollicking adventures set between the Rio Grande and the Canadian border that reflect the reality of life in the region during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
These stories have been gleaned from old newspaper accounts and little-known published sources, reflecting Dary's intimate knowledge of his stomping ground. A veritable treasury of lost legends, the book blends history and folklore to offer a fond look back at settlers and Indians, desperados and cowboys-including just how it is that the latter became known for singing.
In these enchanting vignettes, Dary takes readers along trails and rails to tell how the Staked Plains got their name and to recall times when women were scarce. He unearths legends of buried treasure spanning the region and spins tales of buffalo and bears. He tells of famous lawmen like Seth Bullock of Deadwood fame and outlaws like Belle Starr, and sheds light on other famous and obscure personalities, from Chief Old Wolf to Fort Mann's woman soldier, Caroline Newcomb, to Teddy Roosevelt, the badlands rancher who became president.
For anyone who thinks of America's middle as dull, True Tales of the Prairies and Plains offers a corrective that entertains as it informs. It is a book as wide-ranging as the land it covers, preserving nuggets of lore from perpetual obscurity and promising readers hours of enjoyment, whether on or off the trail.

Award-winning historian David Dary presents True Tales of the Prairies & Plains, an anthology of true stories of the Old West gathered from newspaper accounts and little-known published sources. From the legend behind the origin of the word "rawhide", to legends of buried treasure, to the unmitigated roughness of an era when women were scarce and buffalo roamed the plains. A handful of black-and-white photographs illustrate this exciting tell-it-like-it-is collection, enthusiastically recommended for Western buffs.
Book Description
The four million windswept acres of wildflowers and grass in the twenty national grasslands in the United States are scattered across a region extending from the Pacific Ocean to the eastern edge of North Dakota. Although all were once seas of grass teeming with wildlife, they now exhibit striking differences, and range from a small lake recreation area in Texas to the enormous Little Missouri National Grasslands in North Dakota.
An essential guide to the American grasslands and the Grasslands National Park of Canada, The National Grasslands presents a history of the region, that traces the establishment of the national grasslands as an important part of the New Deal’s social revolution. The guide also provides a concise summary of the debates surrounding preservation and use, with special focus on the Buffalo Commons controversy. Each national grassland receives individual attention, including overviews of flora and fauna, clear descriptions of terrain and noteworthy natural features, and vital information on grasslands’ history, visitor centers, and ranger stations. All the articles in this first full-length book on the history of the national grasslands are richly illustrated with maps and exquisite photographs by the noted Great Plains photographer Georg Joutras.
