Never Marry a Farmer Phyllis Bohonis

Two women are murdered a decade apart in the same area of the prairies. No witnesses. No motives. A skid mark at the scene of one, the only clue.

Mystery, romance and family are inter­twined in this tale of greed, need and heartbreak set in the vast prairie region of southern Saskatchewan. It's the '60s. Corporations are buying farmland. Some farmers sell and find instant wealth. Some farmers don't sell and still prosper. Some farmers don't sell and die in the struggle to survive. Is love enough? A bitter old woman says no. A young man is deter­mined to prove her wrong. Maisie, Glen and an innocent child are caught in the conflict.
