Summary: Leslie Morigeau's Review
Comment: The book Winter Wheat by Mildred Walker is a great story for everyone to read. I could really relate to the main character, Ellen, who is in her teens. A long story short is it is a story of a girl going away from home for the first time and how it causes her to change the way she looks at things in her life and the changes of other people's lives. All the little twists and turns of her life keep you keeps you guessing and wondering what is going to happen next.
The characters that I enjoyed the most was Leslie and Ellen, because one Leslie is my name, even if it was a guy, and Ellen was very well written and had an exiting two years. It's as if it really happened it been like you were there and apart of their lives. I felt like I was there with them every step of the way. The unpainted house, the yard light, the windbreaks, snow, and the winter wheat were very descriptive just like they would be during to Montana seasons.
The main character Ellen becomes stronger as she sees the losses in life. She learned how to find the best of all places, no matter how good or even bad. Her relationship with her parents is more graphic than other families in other books, like showing some of the "smaller town life" people.
When I was reading the book I could feel the crust of the snow and the warmth of the wood stove. Also the smell of wet mittens drying and floors slippery with thawing snow and ice from our big snow boots. I would recommend this book to anyone, big city or small little honky tonk people. It gives you the best views into the heart of Montana that I have seen. You should really read this book.

Summary: What a tremendous book!
Comment: What can I say? This is quite possibly one of the best books I have ever read. Mildred Walker wove a story that stole my heart away. Ellen Webb, Gilbert, Leslie, Anna, Ben, and Warren were so alive in this story. It's as if it really happened. I was transported in time to their lives and I did not want to leave it. Splendid literary talent like this comes rarely. I felt like I was there with them. I could not stop reading this book.
I highly recommend this book to all and I have already purchased several copies to distribute to my family and friends. I am going to read it again and again... Thankyou, Mildred Walker, for your depth of understanding of the human heart.

Summary: Glorious descriptive writing with a point
Comment: This quiet, character development approach to writing is enhanced by the glorious descriptions of the external environment in (desert-like) countryside. The character's appreciation of her environment grows throughout the book, even in the harshest weather. It is a wonderful story, with an ending that knocked me off my feet with surprise.
