    About this ebook

    Loving Allis Chalmers follows decades of a reluctant, meandering journey that takes the reader from the backroads of impoverished rural Idaho to the backyards of the rich and famous in resort towns just hours away. Ascetic in a hawkers stall, Marxist in a capitalists guise, the author relates the subjective changes that arise when melding the incompatible. Whether weaving spare desert prose with esoteric Buddhist doctrine, ecology with existentialism, or agriculture with Greek thought, Loving Allis Chalmers is a book as rarified as its subject matter, tracing the trivial to the profound, the anecdotal to the universal with graceful and unexpected turns. No reader will go unchallengedand no reader will go unrewarded.

    Ralph Thurston

    Ralph Thurston lives in Blackfoot, Idaho with his wife, watercolorist Jeriann Sabin, twenty miles from the Tilden area where he was raised in the early 1960s. His other books, mostly nonfiction, include two how-to books on cut flower growing, a trade the couple plied for over two decades, only recently retiring.

      Feb 12, 2023

      While it has a very strong flavour of Where the Crawdads Sing, this novel is far more than a copycat of that mega bestseller. What both books have in common is that they are about young women living in the wilderness, but this one is a World War II a
