An Entertaining Read

Wonderful recollections of a bygone era. Ms. Plotkin's well documented family lore invokes the stories of countless immigrant families who settled in the Dakotas and whose lives were filled with hardhips and struggles but also with lots of love and humor. Five beautiful and amazingly strong women who remained instrinsicly feminine doing "man's work". Certainly not an idyllic life but neither a tragic one. Just one that had to be lived to the fullest. No wonder Ms. Plotkin wanted desperately to be a Pearson Girl - I do too!

Heartwarming

A heartwarming and intelligent story of immigrant grit on the Dakota front at the beginning of the century. If you have time to read only one memoir this year, make it THE PEARSON GIRLS! It will fascinate you.

I want to live in that time and place

I loved this book. It told of a wonderful hard working family and the love that was passed down from generation to generation. You will soon find yourself loving the 'girls' and seeing the Plains through their eyes.There were many times during the course of reading this book that I wanted to live with them, oh what a beautiful, peaceful time in America's history.
