Extended Review:
This book provides a very interesting look into farming life after the Civil War, when people faced harsh times and changes including automobiles and women's independence.
Characters: The author has created a very diverse group of characters. While the focus seems to be on those who remain at the farm, there are characters who leave a lasting impression throughout the book.
Story-Line: We see progress being made, and leaving an impact on one particular family post-Civil War.
Readability: I enjoyed reading the book, although I had to re-read a few conversations to make sure I really knew who was speaking as the dialog was written a little differently than I am used to.
Overall: An interesting look into a small family and how they and their farm developed post-Civil War. Not being a huge historian myself, it at least gave me a better idea of life during that time, and some of the struggles and influences that people faced.
