The news that she has one year to live gives the heroine of this chick lit novel a new lease on life. Believing herself to be dying of cancer, 34-year-old Charlotte Clapp decides to go out with a bang.

THE TROLL GARDEN contains classic early stories, many set against the harsh but spectacular American prairie, and rich with autobiographical elements from the Nebraska of Cather`s childhood. O PIONEERS is the story of Alexandra Bergson, the daughter of a Swedish pioneering family, who takes over the management of the family farm upon her father`s death, and of her forbidden love for a neighbor, Carl Lindstrom. THE SONG OF THE LARK is based on the career of Metropolitan Opera star Olive Femstad and traces the life of a singer from a rural town who goes to Chicago to study music and rises to the top of her profession. MY ANTONIA, which chronicles the relationship between two Nebraska children, Jim Burden and Antonia Shimerda, as they grow to maturity, is considered Cather`s masterpiece. ONE OF OURS, a novel about a farm boy who comes into his own on the battlefields of France in World War I, where he dies heroically, won the Pulitzer Price in 1922.
