"Reading Kathy Greenwood's account of growing up on a small ranch
in southeastern New Mexico, I kept wondering where she had heard
the story of my life. From her ill-starred introduction into the
fine art of milking a recalcitrant Jersey cow to her uneasy
homecoming from graduate school, she kept reflecting incidents out
of my own West Texas experience. In many ways she reflects the life
of almost everyone--man or woman--who has grown up on a ranch . . .
She writes with a sparkle and a keen wit."--Elmer Kelton
Heart-Diamond describes the author's experiences growing up on a
working cattle ranch in Southeastern New Mexico. In a series of
sketches that begins with an incident in her childhood and
concludes with her return to the ranch after a lengthy absence, the
book features various members of her family in settings and
situations typical of daily life not only on the Heart-Diamond but
on any small, family-operated ranch: rounding up cattle, fixing
windmills, helping a heifer to calve. At the same time that the
sketches celebrate western culture and the love that holds the
family together, their touch is light and humorous. As a book
written from a woman's point of view, Heart-Diamond offers some
unique commentary on the "cowboy" way of life.
