The Legacy of Prairie Winds: Third Edition Kindle Edition

Well-developed relationships and well-crafted scenes bring humanity and realism to living on the American plains. Following the immigrant Johann Gehring to America, the saga translates hardships of living on the American prairie as well as the thrills of moving toward the future. Intriguing characters and themes of family, community, and grit are moved by the story and narrative that evoke the seasons of the heart that mirror the changing seasons of Nebraska.The Gehring family - each character - is tested with trials, tribulations, loss, and love through historical events such as the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, Spanish Flu, and wartime prejudices against German immigrants. The novel is filled with symbolism of the Cottonwood tree and the use of the Sandhills as another character in this story of survival.The Gehring family and the future generations become as strong as the prairie Cottonwood.
