The Depression years in eastern Washington, like other parts of the country, called on families to be thrifty, temperate, and hardworking. It was a time Riley Helmstetter recalls in her book, And the Coyotes Howled, when life was vivid on the farm, lived close to the earth, the cows, chickens and pigs.But always, the nights echoed with the cries of the coyotes, nervous predators who somehow represented to Riley the desperate edge farmers dung to. Survival was day to day for humans and the wild creatures. For Riley, a curious, silent bond formed between her and them, a bond that was both strange and comforting.
