Why read it?
1 author picked Land of Hills and Valleys as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A slightly more modern take, this book is set in the 1930s, in the perspective of a girl who inherits an ailing Wyoming ranch and she falls in love with the land and the people who inhabit it. What I loved about this one was the discovery of the land and the lifestyle through the eyes of the main character. Throw in a mystery and a lovely romance and you'll be breathless by the end.
From Emily's list on The best books that capture the poignant beauty of the American West.
