Plot Summary of Years
""Years" is one of my favorite read. I read at least once a year and fall in love with Teddy and Linea all over again. I am from ND and love the way LaVerle Spencer descibes the prairie and the Red River Valley. It is a fresh and wonderful look at a spring and fall romance."
Nancy, Resident Scholar
