Book cover featuring a painted landscape scene framed by a thin white rectangular border. The artwork shows a line of weathered wooden fence posts stretching across sagebrush-covered land, with rocks in the foreground and a softly colored sky in the background. At the top, the title reads, “Sharing Fencelines.” Below the title, smaller text reads, “Three Friends Write from Nevada’s Sagebrush Corner.” Beneath that, the authors’ names appear stacked: “Linda Hassel,” “Sophie Sheppard,” and “Carolyn Dufurrena.”
