Overview

"Sheila Harris and I have been friends for a long time. And the most amazing thing she ever did was marry a farmer. No one was more unsuited for farm life than this girl. And in the dead of night she would think. ""What have I got myself into?"" You are going to find out. You are going to discover that she embraced her life with amazing passion, and bravery and intelligence. She was honoured to be part of this life I watched her with amazement. Does every community in Saskatchewan have a story like this one? Perhaps but this long time ""best friend"" of mine has done her homework on this one."" -Bernice Phillips, Sheila's best friend ""She was cute as a button, smart and sassy, with a great laugh. The irrepressible and sometimes rascally young farmer, Gordon Harris swept her into marriage before she turned twenty. The adventures began. The dizzying switch from city girl to farm wife. Sheila is a storyteller, and she has wonderful tales to share, with self-deprecating humour and keen insight. ""A book to counter the chaos of today."" -Nancy Morrison, Retired Lawyer and Supreme Court Judge"
