A portrait of nature at its most beautiful and demanding, it is the story of a girl whose family struggled against Depression-era hardship and personal tragedy to carve out a small farm in rural South Dakota. The youngest of seven, Barbara wrestles against the expectations of her family, the strictures of the church, and the limits imposed by a male-dominated culture. Eager for adventure, she leaves the farm--first for the Peace Corps and ultimately for the unknown environs of Manhattan's Upper East Side--but she never truly escapes. \u003ci\u003eLost Without the River\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the emotional power that even the smallest place can exert, and the gravitational pull that calls a person back home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"She Writes Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45130516627607,"sku":"9781631525315","price":1260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781631525315.webp?v=1767905620","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lost-without-the-river-a-memoir-9781631525315","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
