Librarian note: While Amazon and other sources tend to list the printing date as 1968 the book states "1st printing ... February 1965". There may have been a later printing in 1968. Copyright dates for the individual stories are listed but there's not one for the entire collection as there's no introduction or other new material other than possibly the dedication and the About the Author essay which spans two pages at the back of the book.
This is a collection of five short stories. The descriptions are from the back cover and the dates are from the copyright page.
Winter Thunder — A young schoolteacher and her pupils survive the fury of an eight-day blizzard.
The Neighbor — Charley was the only person who seemed to understand her lonely, stormy, growing up misery.
Martha of the Yellow Braids — Martha was all Mari wanted to be - until they grew up.
The Spike-Eared Dog — Tommy finds out that a push at the right time can turn a dog-or a man-into a hero.
The Girl in the Humbert — A generations-old family feud burns itself out in the blaze of a prairie fire.
