Pullman Author- Reading/Signing
T. Louise Freeman-Toole - Standing Up To The Rock
Neill Public Library
Wednesday Oct. 3, 2001 7:00 p.m.
Attachments: Author picture & Book Cover
When she moved to Idaho, Louise Freeman-Toole a sixth generation
Californian, encountered a way of life she didn't even know still existed.
On a cattle ranch on the edge of Hells Canyon, she discovered a world where
you "eat food pulled out of the ground, where if you are cold, you build a
fire." Over a period of ten years, Freeman-Toole made regular visits to the
isolated ranch along the Snake River, gradually getting to know the
80-year-old rancher and his daughter.
In Standing Up to the Rock, Pullman author Freeman-Toole weaves together her
observations of ranch life with details of her own childhood in Southern
California in a warm, personal and loving portrait. As she comes to respect
and understand the rugged landscape and the rural culture of Idaho,
Freeman-Toole is forced to reexamine her own views.
Freeman-Toole is a free-lance writer whose work has appeared in publications
including the Christian Science Monitor, Alaska Magazine, and
Spokesman-Review and in the books, Written on Water; Essays on Idaho Rivers
and For She is the Tree of Life: Grandmothers through the Eyes of Women
Writers. She lives in Pullman with her husband and two sons.
"Louise Freeman-Toole blesses us with her beautifully felt portrayal of the
last cattle ranch in the Hells Canyon area of Idaho's Snake River, a
portrayal as poignant as it is rich in detail as she illuminates the
history, the geology, the natural science, and particularly the remarkable
family that continues its traditions and way of life even as it faces an
uncertain future" - Mary Clearman Blew.
Copies of "Standing Up to the Rock" are being sold at the library and at
Book People in Moscow. They will also be sold at 6:30 before the reading on
Wednesday Oct. 3. Refreshments will be provided by the Neill Public Library
Book Club.
