Elaine Froese writes with intelligence, spirituality, and on-the-ground experience. This is sane, lucid writing that comes from a writer who drives a combine, goes for parts, and invites the neighbours over; a prairie woman who writes from the heart and reflects thoughtfully on the complexities of Canadian family life.

and Gold from the Fire: Postcards from a Prairie Pilgrimage
Elaine has a special gift of writing and caring for others, and reaching the farm population in a unique and meaningful way. There are two ways to use this book: put it in your library or put it in your life. Elaine’s practical approach will help you in your farming operation and personal life. A ‘must read’ for everyone in agriculture; it will change the way you think. As a farmer, consultant and motivational speaker, I found the book inspirational and useful.
