Synopsis

"...exhilarating and hard to resist." —The Washington Post on the Westering Women audiobook"Addictive. Highly recommended!"—Paulette Jiles, New York Times bestselling author of News of the World"Németh-Parker delivers a powerful performance, smoothly transitioning to several different characters throughout the audiobook. Her captivating storytelling will evoke tears, especially during the heartrending climax and bittersweet conclusion."- AudioFile Beautifully rendered, Where Coyotes Howl is a vivid and deeply affecting ode to the early twentieth century West, from master storyteller Sandra Dallas.Except for the way they loved each other, they were just ordinary, everyday folks. Just ordinary.1916. The two-street town of Wallace is not exactly what Ellen Webster had in mind when she accepted a teaching position in Wyoming, but within a year’s time she’s fallen in love—both with the High Plains and with a handsome cowboy named Charlie Bacon. Life is not easy in the flat, brown corner of the state where winter blizzards are unforgiving and the summer heat relentless. But Ellen and Charlie face it all together, their relationship growing stronger with each shared success, and each deeply felt tragedy. Ellen finds purpose in her work as a rancher’s wife and in her bonds with other women settled on the prairie. Not all of them are so lucky as to have loving husbands, not all came to Wallace willingly, and not all of them can survive the cruel seasons. But they look out for each other, share their secrets, and help one another in times of need. And the needs are great and constant. The only city to speak of, Cheyenne, is miles away, making it akin to the Wild West in rural Wallace. In the end, it is not the trials Ellen and Charlie face together that make them remarkable, but their love for one another that endures through it all.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Well, I guess after reading this, I’m just gonna start with. I’m thankful that I did not live during this time.

A new teacher in town. Will she stay since none of the other teachers last a year? They don't last in Wallace because it's so small, and the winters and summers are brutally cold and brutally hot. Ellen wasn't sure how things would work, but she was willing to give this small Western town a try. When s......more
