Black-Eyed Susan Paperback - 1997
by Jennifer Armstrong
Awed and oppressed by the vast prairie, Susie's mother hasn't set foot outside the sod house in months. On a trip into town to file a claim for additional property, Susie scours the Mercantile for a treat to cheer Mama. But it will take the contagious optimism and confidence of a migrating Icelandic family to jolt Mama from her brooding and cajole her to embrace the prairie with her daughter's fresh enthusiasm.
First line
The low wind slowed outside our sodhouse door, then rolled over the buffalo grass, bowling down into hollows and up over mounds, blowing the dust before it.
From the jacket flap
A lyrical novel about a day in the life of a young pioneer girl growing up on the Dakota prairie is now available in a "Knopf Paperback edition. This widely praised and beautifully crafted tale deftly evokes the vast expanse of the American West, the hardships faced by pioneer families, and the strong bonds of family and community.
