de Jane Valentine Barker · Publicada por primera vez en 1997

Mari is the story of the turbulent relationship between famed Western author Mari Sandoz and her pioneer-rancher father, Jules Sandoz. Set in the Sandhills of northwest Nebraska in the early 1900s, the novel brings to life the struggle between free-spirited, determined Mari and her violent, yet brilliant and imaginative, father as Mari seeks to carve a place for herself in a man's world. For Mari, writing was a way to come to terms with both her complex relationship with her father and with the land where she was born. She went on to win innumerable awards for her books such as Old Jules, Cheyenne Autumn, and Crazy Horse.
