At eighty-three Marcia Elder was alert and active but felt insecure about facing another winter alone, yet she dreaded giving up her old home and entering a retirement facility. So, with great resourcefulness, she advertised for a companion and eventually staked out a corner of her own - one with a view. Mildred Walker's skill as a storyteller never falters in this portrayal of an elderly woman who won't give up. "As a study in old age, it has dignity and restraint. Its sentiment rings true, and Mrs. Elder is very much a person...a quiet, appealing little exploration of one woman's adjustment to her advancing years, of one woman's joy in her home place." - "Chicago Sunday Tribune". Mildred Walker, the author of "Winter Wheat", is being "rediscovered" in her own retirement years in Oregon. She has collaborated with her daughter, the poet Ripley Hugo, in introducing this edition.
