Ruth Tweed attended a one room school in West Central Minnesota. Memories of the rural thirties help bring her fictional Sally's experiences to life. Miles from the nearest town, County School District 13 is not only the school but also the focal point of the community. Sally, the oldest student, is a frustrated eighth grader. Ruth's first novel uses this background to picture education in an era that seems foreign to children today. Although it is hard for most of us to imagine country school, this book gives us a glimpse inside and will bring back memories to those who lived it. This is Ruth Jesness Tweed's third book. She previously published two books of poetry and short stories.

Bureaucracy represented by a community college is explored through hallucinations, stream of consciousness and magical realism. W...
