Just read The 4 winds

I could tell from the beginning that this writer was not a Texan. While my 5 generations of Texans never lived in the Panhandle, I have had plenty of friends and far off relatives who did. After reading this, I asked around to my fellow readers their opinion about the book. Had trouble finding anyone who read it because "it was too depressing". Well sure. Not exactly a happy subject. I found much of this book too formulaic in many ways: For instance the way certain classes and types of people are portrayed. BTW, good men can be short and bald and evil men can be tall and hairy. It was also way too long. Like a lecture that you have to finish to get credit for in a class. What I would really love is an actual account from a woman who lived through this. Have searched but not found it. Sure it is out there. Which just made me realize that I posted this in the wrong forum. While the subject of the book is nonfiction, the person who wrote it wrote fiction.
