The letters were the basis for the movie Heartland, one of the best dramas on film. It is unfortunate that the film is so ignored. It is a wonderful story of life in the US west around 1910.

Wonderful woman!
I really enjoyed this book, what an awesome optimist this woman is! She is an honest writer, telling her story in a most positive way, and making the best of everything that happened in her life. She is delightful to read.
