Front Cover
Fulcrum Pub., 2001 - Biography & Autobiography - 239 pages
When author Diane Josephy Peavey first arrived in south-central Idaho twenty years ago, she did not know it was possible to become as connected to a place as she is now, nor, she claims, did she understand the "meaning of love, of home, of commitment. That would come to me here, 24 dirt-road miles from town." Story by story, readers will pass through the seasons of a ranching life, discovering the power of a landscape that inspires passion in so many. Book jacket.

About the author (2001)

Although she grew up on the East Coast, Diane Peavey spent many childhood summers driving across the West to a second home in Joseph, Oregon, with her historian father, Alvin Josephy, Jr. These expeditions gave her an early rooted connection to the people & the wide-open spaces of the West. For the past 20 years she has lived with her husband, John Peavey, on the Flat Top Sheep Co. ranch in Carey, Idaho.
