The weekly mail had just arrived at the Flying U ranch. Shorty, who had made the trip to Dry Lake on horseback that afternoon, tossed the bun dle to the Old Man and was halfway to the stable when he was called back peremptorily.
I read this book when I was in the third grade. I went to a country school where all grades were in the same room and our library was in a small metal cabinet. My lifetime love of reading was born in that little school and I read every book in it's library. This wonderful book had a young girl's heart hurting and in tears for the innocence of the people and their interactions.
I couldn't believe it was the same book but there it was in Kindle Unlimited. A book I never forgot and I am 87 years old.
