Fine, affecting memoir of growing up in the mid-20th century in a series of sheep camps, remote ranches, and tiny hamlets in Montana's high country. Doig's beautiful prose catches both the beauty and brutality of the life, and ends with a thoughful examination of what it means to be a family.

SO GOOD!! The author is a very prolific writer and his words just flow along. Sometimes I had to read a sentence over twice to really capture what he was saying. I am from the western states too, and know allot about Montana. I couldn't stop reading it.
