fter the runaway success of her first novel, 1
Heard the Owl Call My Name, now a modern
classic, Margaret Craven returns with Walk
Gently This Good Earth, a heart-warming story--
a glowing affirmation of faith in a close-knit
American fainily whose spirit and rugged inde-
pendence echo the ways of their pioneering
ancestors.
From the Deprcssion to the present, from their
idyllic childhood in the wilds of the Pacific North-
west to their ranching days in the wide-open
spaces of Montana, the Westcutts stick together in
a world where old-fashioned values are rapidly
changing. Raised by Judge Westcott, a brilliant
lawyer and wise father, and Maria, their loving,
indispensable housekeeper, the four Westeott
children and their adopted brother embrace a
lasting tradition of good sense, wit, and hard
work.
With stunning simplicity, Margaret Craven
captures the awesome thrill of climbing in the
Cascades, standing on a virgin mountain peak, or
discovering a glacier, as she traces the children s
coming-of-age with grace and humor. The West-
cotts face turbulent years after Judge Westcott
dies and World War II begins, yet their survivalis
cemented by the ripening love between Cathy,
the outspoken tomboy of the family, and Neal,
her adopted brother. On their vast Montana
ranch, the family continues to maintain their
wholesome ways in the face of changing times.
