A stunning account of the backbreaking, sweaty, freezing, muddy, discouraging, despairing, ecstatic, bountiful, inspirational work that is farming. Working as a farmhand on small farms in upstate New York and Vermont, Gaydos somehow found time to capture the poverty and richness of her daily life. Her writing about the cycles of life, death, and rebirth on the farm are unforgettable.
