Review:  My maternal grandmother grew up on a Montana ranch.  Her best friend was the daughter of Judge Rankin, whose name was apparently a curse word amongst other ranchers and ranch hands. Jeannette Rankin became my mother's godmother, and the first woman elected to the US House of Representatives, so I felt a special kinship.

My, oh my!  Ivan Doig, always a master of lovely prose, applies his gift to his autobiography.  The reader is immersed in the landscape of Montana and it's reflection in the Doig family's life.  It is noble, human, gritty, grueling, and full of deep love.  A treasure!
