Produktbeschreibung
What does an Oregon born, city-bred and over-the-hill greenhorn gal do when she finds herself, and hubby, living part of their retirement lives in tiny Fallon, Montana? The woman hunkers down, tries to keep her mouth shut and learn the ways of eastern Montanans. While meandering down this dusty, rock-filled (watch out for rattlesnakes!) road of experiences, she takes notes. Those notes and observations, along with some tales told to her by others, slowly become a quirky little book. "A Greenhorn Gal: Life in Eastern Montana" is not meant to be a book stunning enough to blast the boots off the reader. It's meant to be one woman's view of life in a small dusty town, the place called home to many of her maternal relatives. It's meant to give readers a chuckle now and again as they read each non-fiction short story or feel hunger pains as they graze through the recipes found in the second part of the book. It's meant to give readers a chance to sympathize with or shake their heads at a woman who, during her life in Fallon, knows all too well she is one of Montana's greenhorn gals.
Autorenporträt
Virginia A. Johnson, born in 1947, grew up in the northeast section of Portland, Oregon. Her maternal grandparents were Germans-from-Russia who settled in eastern Montana in 1911. Virginia graduated from Oregon State University with bachelor's and master's degrees in home economics education and a bachelor's degree in elementary education. She taught students of all ages for a total of 16 years. She spent 12 of those years with elementary school children in the old Mill City-Gates School District. Virginia is a freelance writer. She has more than 150 articles published in newspapers and periodicals. One of her fiction short stories, "Ornament of Grace", is featured in the anthology, "Christmas in my Heart" (2012). "A Greenhorn Gal: Life in Eastern Montana" is her first book-length work. Virginia and her husband, Wayne, live most of the year in Crabtree, Oregon. Since 2001, they try to spend two months each year in Fallon, Montana at their second home. The couple have three adult children and five grandchildren. To keep up with their extended family, the two shuttle between Oregon, Montana, California and Alaska on a regular basis.
