Judy Blunt grew up on a small ranch in rural Montana. Her family was one of a few dozen scattered across the hard-bitten farm-scape of South Phillips County.

Judy Blunt shares a story from her memoir, Breaking Clean and talks with host Steve Curwood about the moment when she was accepted into her community.
