Lyman Ward, a wheelchair-bound historian estranged from his family, sets out to write the lives of his frontier-era grandparents, moving between his own difficult present in 1970s California and the mining West of the 1870s, where his grandmother — an illustrator transplanted from a cultivated East — made the marriage that would shape three generations. The novel draws closely, and controversially, on the actual letters of Mary Hallock Foote, the nineteenth-century writer-illustrator on whom Stegner based the character of Susan Burling Ward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e TO-2026-024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stegner, Wallace","offers":[{"title":"Near Fine","offer_id":46459951284385,"sku":"TO-2026-024","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7001\/0785\/files\/TO-2026-024_01.jpg?v=1785774660","url":"https:\/\/twoorangesbooks.com\/products\/to-2026-024","provider":"Two Oranges Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
