Meeting the Sweet Grass (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798903331086)

There was a time when life was learned by watching, by working, and by listening.

Meeting the Sweet Grass unfolds like a series of remembered scenes-moments that linger, like old slides brought back into the light. Through the eyes of a sixteen-year-old hired hand, readers step into a world shaped by hard work, wide land, and the steady rhythm of ranch life.

It is a world where experience is earned, not given-and where the lessons run deeper.

At the center stands Boss Vicky, a man who carried both responsibility and quiet conviction. "You won't find many atheists ranching or farming," he once said. His trust in God was not something spoken lightly, but something lived out day after day.

These are the kinds of moments that stay with a person. The kind that are told again-by a grandfather to his grandchildren-so they might understand not just how life was, but what it meant.

And why it still matters.
