Heart Diamond

Heart-Diamond describes the authors experiences growing up on a working cattle ranch in Southeastern New Mexico. In a series of sketches that begins with an incident in her childhood and concludes with her return to the ranch after a lengthy absence the book features various members of her family in settings and situations typical of daily life not only on the Heart-Diamond but on any small family-operated ranch: rounding up cattle fixing windmills helping a heifer to calve. At the same time that the sketches celebrate western culture and the love that holds the family together their touch is light and humorous. As a book written from a womans point of view Heart-Diamond offers some unique commentary on the cowboy way of life.Greenwood describes growing up on a working cattle ranch in Southeastern New Mexico beginning with an incident in her childhood and concluding with her return to the ranch after a lengthy absence.
