Quotations:
I keep writing to understand my own life, and express the truth as I see tt around me: the problems, strengths, and shortcomings of the people who really live in the West. I’ve been forced to leave the ranch for now and live in a city—an educational experience at fifty!—but I hope to stay in the region, because I think not only research, learning facts, but drinking the water, eating the beef, smelling the sage, and bending against the wind are necessary for writing about a region well.
I feel that it is important to keep my roots in this arid soil, to learn from it all I can, in order to continue to grow as a writer and as a human being.
Quotes from others about the person
Hasselstrom is one of those voices folks who grew up in the outback country of the American West were likely to hear every so often—a decent, experienced woman announcing her thoughts in a direct, passionate way, speaking straight from the trials of her life.
On April 9, 1966 she married Daniel G. Lusk , but they divorced on June 27, 1973. On March 10, 1979 she married George Randolph Snell, (deceased September 7, 1988).
