"Johnstun knows his terrain well, creating a palpable sense of the sky and soil, grasses and wildlife of the mesa--and the winds of change that swept through the nation for two tumultuous decades. A tender evocation of grief, hope, and dignity."

--KIRKUS REVIEWS


Let the Wild Grasses Grow chronicles the lives of Della Chavez and John Cordova, childhood friends separated by a tragic accident, who find each other again during World War II after leading lives of struggle through the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and, for John, abuse at the hands of his grandfather. This sweeping American love story celebrates the power of home landscapes, family heritage, and first love.
