Acclaimed for her 1928 novel A Lantern in Her Hand, Bess Streeter Aldrich became one of the most widely read interpreters of the prairie pioneer experience. In 1935, she published her masterpiece, Spring Came on Forever, a novel of two Nebraska pioneer families from settlement to the 1930s. Elsewhere an artist of the romance, here Aldrich turns romance on its head. The heroine is Amalia Holmsdorfer, one of a band of German immigrants who settle on the prairie. From her late teens to her mid-eighties she confronts and defeats the forces of nature and society that discourage or ruin others. Her life might be a modest triumph but for one detail: she married the wrong man. Quickly paced and precisely drawn, this novel is Aldrich's greatest tribute to the complexity, humor, endurance, and intelligence of the people who settled the prairie. Whatever its sentiments, it has as many cutting edges as a buzz saw.

Mother Mason is a devoted wife, mother, and townswoman. She dotes on her four rowdy children and is involved with the library board and many women's clubs. Can Molly Mason grab some time for herself? Or will it all fall to pieces? Excerpt: "Mother sat in front of her Circassian walnut dressing table, her f--, no, plump form enveloped in lavender and green, chrysanthemum-covered, stork-bordered kimono, and surveyed herself in the glass. Mother was Mrs. Henry Y. Mason, and in Springtown, Nebraska, when one says "Henry Y." it conveys, proportionately, the same significance that it carries when the rest of the world says "John D."

Mrs. Aldrich realizes real, living figures."--Literary Review "Exciting and realistic. A wholesome story without being sentimental or cloying."--Boston Transcript "An understanding presentation of small town life with a pioneer background.

The state of Iowa was still young and wild when Wayne Lockwood came to it from New England in 1851. He claimed a quarter-section about a hundred miles west of Dubuque and quickly came to appreciate widely scattered neighbors like Jeremiah Martin, whose seven daughters would have chased the gloom from any bachelor's heart.
