You will want to read it more than once
This book now apparently out of print is wonderful. I got it as a gift from a friend then sent it to a friend and shared it with a daughter. Of course the author wrote many famous Florida books this one was multi generational about farming as it started to the mid west. The girlfriend I sent ti to moved from the city to an Ohio Farm and I know her daughters in law will be reading it along with her sons and grandchildren. The author already famous and gone the writing was excellent. Historical content true to form. Sad that some really great or good books are no longer printed. Thanks Albris for being a great source for this type of thing.
