Industry Reviews
"With plenty of Yankee common sense and dry wit, and some pathos as the boy at 13 takes on the duties of a man. For boys of this age and for the young of any age."
School Library Journal

"Manages to evoke a sense of vanished America--when neighbors were neighborly, when food was home-cooked, and clothes and philosophy homespun."
Newsweek

This is a raw, coarse look into the lives of a Vermont farm family struggling to get ahead.
The main character, a 13 year-old boy, must learn the hard way about farm life & family duty. His father ,who stands & slaughters pigs for a living all day, prepares him for what lies ahead with common-sense philosophy, a deep sense of responsibility, & often harsh lessons in reality.
This is a tale of a vanished America, but the lessons within make this a good read for young & old alike. A trip back in time to a day when neighbors helped neighbors, when all food was home-grown & home-cooked, & when it was an unquestioned honor to do one's duty.
The author has a great talent for realism & for drawing the reader into the tale.
