The book resonates with a sense of place, capturing the essence of farm life, the changing seasons, and the enduring bonds within a community, all while reflecting the societal transformations of an America grappling with economic hardship. Sterling North, an acclaimed writer and naturalist, drew on his own experiences growing up on a Wisconsin farm to inform this work.
