Description
Journey Home is a series of poems reflecting farm life in the 1950-60's before many practices vanished with technological changes. Having a keen eye for detail, the author describes the typical layout of a farm as well as the chores and customs of the era. As you cherish the unforgettable characters, you will experience universal feelings of joy, sadness, hope, and humor. The love of family, farm animals and the, land is central and captured in the various topics. Revisiting the farm is a trip into nostalgia when the farm produced most of family's food and neighbors depended upon each other for hog-killing, quilting, fires and' sickness. Several vintage photos enhance the book.
