SOMETIMES CREEK: In this historical memoir, narrated through the seasons from her cabin in western Wyoming, Florence Rose Krall Shepard retraces the contours of her long life. From the landscape of childhood on a sheep ranch during the Great Depression, to a one-room school and universities, through motherhood and environmental teaching and activism, she pays tribute to her nurturing, Italian-immigrant parents and the wonders of the natural world. Each step along the way presents challenges from which she gains new perspectives.
