IT'S A DRY COLD…YOU DON'T FEEL IT, is a "praise the prairies" book. It honours and laughs with, and at, the stubborn, courageous people who live there.
The content is a collection of columns written by Mrs. Hewson in recent years for five Saskatchewan weekly newspapers. It includes the cussedness of Saskatchewanians who refuse daylight saving time, disregard glaring difficulties, and claim benefits only obvious to themselves. The uncertainty of the basic industry, farming, is forgotten by the spirit of hope that arises after each crop failure. The deadly cold of winter is offset by constant sunshine. And who can forget the prairie spring that arrives, not with a soggy whimper but a roar of glorious shout. If you are prairie born, you CAN go home again!
