Home to your roots, maybe even home to the farm you never knew. With incredible finesse and honesty, Connie lets you in on her REAL life. Using perfect diary vignettes that include the modern-day farmer&#8217;s search for honorable answers, she keeps one foot firmly planted back in time. This book is THE written preservation of the agrarian lifestyle that is the backbone and root crop of American life as we know it. &#8216;Absolutely honorable!&#8217; is what you&#8217;ll say when you set this book down after a session that includes her stunning photographs and text\u2014words so strong your heart will ache, in that good, old-fashioned way that only summers on the farm can give you.
