MCLAUGHLIN RUTH; GARCEAU HAGEN DEE FOREWORD
Bound Like Grass: A Memoir From The Western High Plains
University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. At the start of this haunting memoir Ruth McLaughlin returns to the site of her childhood home in rural eastern Montana. In place of her family's house she finds only rubble and a blackened chimney. A fire has taken the old farmstead and with it ninety-seven years of hard-luck memories. Amidst the ruins a lone tree survives reminding her of her family's stubborn will to survive despite hardships that included droughts hunger and mental illness. Bound Like Grass is McLaughlin's account of her own � and her family's � struggle to survive on their isolated wheat and cattle farm. With acute observation she explores her roots as a descendant of Swedish American grandparents who settled in Montana at the turn of the twentieth century with high ambitions and of parents who barely managed to eke out a living on their own neighboring farm. In unvarnished prose McLaughlin reveals the costs of homesteading on such unforgiving land including emotional impoverishment and a necessary thrift bordering on deprivation. Yet in this bleak world poverty also inspired ingenuity. Ruth learned to self-administer a fashionable razor haircut ignoring slashes to her hands; her brother taught himself to repair junk cars until at last he built one to carry him far away. Ruth also longs for a richer brighter life but when she finally departs she finds herself an alien in a modern world of relative abundance. While leaving behind a life of hardship and hard luck she remains bound � like the long intertwining roots of prairie grass � to the land and to the memories that tie her to it.

Signed by Poet. 300 g; X 114 pages front end pages map of the district circa 1901 the rear end pages map of the area circa 2001. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs. Gift inscription on the front end page and a inscription by Denise Jordan in the margin of her poem Sonnets From Hawthorn. Photographic illustrated paperback binding. From Many Lands brings out the stories in a format that is original and friendly not swamping the reader with too much detail yet letting the diverse voices speak directly and with the ring of truth. The breadth of contributors is stunning -- they literally come from all walks of life and how refreshing that not everyone of them is famous. It is this wide range of subjects which permits the book to be an authentic representation of Boroondara today. -- Prof Emeritus Sir Gustav Nossal Size: 4to 9�" - 12" tall.
