Jody Glittenberg: Land, Love, Life

Land, Love, Life


Description

Can we save Mother Earth? Can we live in harmony?Pope Francis has given us reason for reading this newly released novel. From 1909-1984 the story of homesteading on the eastern Colorado prairie sweeps through historical events with accuracy, passion, and humor. Early reviews endorse this story of commitment to a covenant to love the land and to live in harmony. Five generations of homesteaders bring readers a swarm of diversity.We find pious, crafty, evil, honorable, fearless, noble, jealous, passionate, murderous, cheating, and some plain good folk.We cross paths with an ancient Cheyenne medicine man and an old emigrant German who knows the secrets of farming. Dreams are shattered but also joys appear from beginning to end. The story of undying love and belief in God's everlasting presence is an unwavering thread on every page. The Land has power in itself, as do clouds, rocks and aquifers. Blizzards, prairies fires, drought, dust storms, grasshoppers, and hunger wound the body, but not the spirit of people in their unflinching faith in God and the power of forgiveness. One dominant figure, Rose, personifies strengths found in each generation. As a renowned violinist from Iowa, immigrant Widow Rose shows wit and tenacity by clearing the land, riding straddle on a horse, driving a Model T Ford without lessons, and beginning work toward women's suffrage.Rose's 80 year-old father, The Seed Man, and an ancient Cheyenne chief teach willing Homesteaders to bless the land and practice sustainable agriculture. Not all follow their warnings, so greed seeds its own destruction. Through the eyes of a young American soldier, you learn the horrors of World War II; her reminds us why Eisenhower said, "I hate war." Reviewers tell of sobbing with emotion as they relive losses and harsh conditions on the prairie or the depths of the World War II. They also laugh and pray through the loves lived and lost. Son Will becomes another dominant figure as he is dealt one blow after the other without ever withering away. His offspring begin the first commercial organic farming His beloved wife, Julie, an artist, outwits destiny. In 1983 the body of a man is found pinned against a sod wall on the old Homestead shed. Was he the victim of some jealous husband or vengeful woman? Or could it be a message sent by the powerful Cheyenne Spirit World, for ravaging Mother Earth for greed and profit? Does the hue Red Arrow of Revenge still lodge in the sod wall above where the man died? Perhaps we'll never know.Or will we? What is the message blown in the wind? Does it foretell our climate change and the end to our renewable resources? Can we learn from the resilient, faith-filled people before it's too late? Reviewers claim this novel should be made into a movie or a TV serious. Perhaps it will be. You be the judge.
