Plain Language - Softcover

Art Corriveau author of Housewrights The West brought hauntingly to life. This human-scale love story of an unlikely family's struggle with love, loyalty, and loss seems all the more epic when set against the immense backdrop of Colorado prairie and sky. Robert Morgan Gap Creek and This Rock Barbara Wright's novel is vivid, intense, memorable, told with Quaker plainness and depth, a story of courage, passion for the land, fierce loyalties and growth, enduring. It is an authentic addition to the literature, the poetry, of our West. Ursula Hegi author of Stones from the River An exceptional novel about the power of memory and desire.

Set on the dusty plains of eastern Colorado in the 1930s, "Plain Language" is a beautifully told tale of love, hardship, and survival. A powerful portrait of a man and woman fighting for their land--and their love--against tremendous odds, Wright's story brings to mind the novels of Willa Cather and John Steinbeck.
