I read a different author!!! However, once I was about 100 pages into this book I realized I had already read this book before. I wasn’t going to stop though. I had already devoted that much time to it, so I figured I would just keep going. It is a good book and it reminds us how incredibly easy we have it. This book takes place in 1899 on a farm in Appalachia. The newly married couple have just about every possible bad thing that can happen to them take place in a year’s time. It is also a good reminder of how much work we don’t have to do. The book is very descriptive when it comes to going through the steps it takes just to have some chicken for dinner, for example, starting with going to the hen house to get the chicken, killing it, taking out all the feathers, scalding it, degutting it…goodness gracious!!! Not to mention all of the work of farming, canning, washing the clothes, ugh!!!
