Special edition to benefit The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters: This book is a way to go home again - home being a family farm, something now rapidly disappearing from the American scene. It offers a personal, passionate account of life on a family farm, presenting the real-life reflections of a woman who has lived it. Each vignette leaves the reader with a message. The author reminds us that we receive from agriculture not merely our food, but also many of the values and practices that have shaped America. All readers of this book, farmers or city dwellers, with or without rural roots, will find themselves relating to the ideals and feelings expressed. This special edition is not available from bookstores. A portion of the proceeds from every order will be earmarked to support the programs of the Wisconsin Academy, including the current "Future of Farming and Rural Life" project.
