No More Giants by Joaquina Ballard Howles
A gripping story of a young woman growing up in the harsh setting of a Nevada ranch in the 1940s. No More Giants combines a deep love for the land with a bracingly honest view of family conflicts and the loss of dreams. Jenny struggles to survive and escape from the frustrations and hatred of her parents. Ignored when first published, No More Giants is now recognized as a classic work about women in the American West.Joaquina Ballard Howles was born and raised on a ranch in rural Nevada north of Winemucca.
