(4) 4-6 Photographs by Barbara Van Cleve. Talbert gives readers a glimpse at what life is like for four girls growing up on ranches in the western United States. Each chapter profiles a girl during a different season, highlighting the work associated with that particular time of year. The writing is more evocative than informative as Talbert jumps from one topic to another, expressing his admiration for his subjects. The black-and-white photos capture as much about the flavor of ranching life as the text does.
