(from the dust jacket) In this new novel Mr. Richter has told the story of that period of tilling - the story of Sayward as a wife and mother, working with her own ...brood on that hard frontier to create a durable home and the aspects of civilization in a region where life was still difficult and where towns were just beginning to appear. Indeed, this novel ends precisely at the moment when the settlement, the area of scattered farms, was no longer called a settlement by its people, but, at last, a "town." It is a rich and human story of personal conflicts and personal strife in the midst of a land that itself was, so to speak, striving. It has the epic quality, reflecting the epic of the conquest of the frontier.
