The Edge of Time by Loula Erdman

The rich heritage of the West Texas pioneer experience is chronicled in this little-known novel of a young couple who settle in a dugout in the Texas Panhandle during the 1880s. The love story of Wade and Bethany Cameron unfolds as they struggle to survive blizzards, droughts, prairie fires, and loneliness. Too often, the nester has been ridiculed and maligned; this novel portrays the dignity and determination of these hardy pioneers who are indeed our great-grandparents. I use the novel in my 7th grade English class, and my students love it. Years later when they come back to visit me, they never mention the grammar we studied, but they always mention this book. - A readers review

From the front flap - "...The Story of the homesteaders is not so well known, and primarily that is a womans story.  Thes women came to a country starkly new; they planted rose bushes and bore children and then saw to it that their children had good homes and schools and churches.  This is their story."

The book is in very good condition with pages that are clean and free of writing, binding is tight, edge wear to boards and spine.  The dust jacket has chips, is faded, and has definite edge wear.  It is not price clipped and it is a Book Club Edition.
