Available in ebook and paperback. The link takes you to your local Amazon store.
Willa Cather wrote about place like nobody else — the American prairie, small towns, the inner lives of people who don't often get to be protagonists. Seven of her finest stories, one per day, with introductions and discussion questions for every reading. Quiet, precise, and deeply human.
What if the life you wanted was always just out of reach? From lonely prairie cabins to music halls and city streets, each story opens a window onto lives shaped by sacrifice, hope, and the things that cannot be undone. These stories move quietly, but they land with real emotional force.
