This is the endearing, yet poignant journey of a little girl beginning her life on her mother's homestead in Colorado and finishing her life as a mature woman in th desert country of southern Idaho. Join Wanda Baker as she shares her experience of prairie dogs and range bulls, wild horses and rodeos, marriage and babies during the turbulent years of the early twentieth century. At age 14, she married Harry, a man nine years her senior, only to find that a girl's happiness and security is not in a man. By age 22 she has finally come of age the hard way. She has three children, a husband riding the rails, and no food left in the cupboard. This is when she realizes that "a woman will do what a woman has to do" to feed her children. This is Wanda's story of love and heartache, survival and resilience.
