A modern classic and reading group favourite, The Jump-Off Creek is the unforgettable story of Lydia Sanderson, a widow who confronts and conquers the demands of homesteading alone in the mountains of Oregon in the 1890s. With unsentimental reserve, Molly Gloss delivers a moving portrait of the American West, alternating between entries from Lydia’s journal and narrative chapters of shifting perspective from the cowboy and cook Tim Whiteaker, part Indian Blue Odell, and wolfers Danny Tsurnbow and Harley Osgood.
