Family -- Livelihood -- Sustenance -- Companions -- Water -- Tribe -- Paradise -- Bicentennial -- Loss -- Atonement -- Mercy. With urban farming and backyard chicken flocks becoming increasingly popular, Coleman has written this timely and honest portrait of her own childhood experience in Maine with her two homesteading parents during the turbulent 1970s. A luminous, evocative memoir that explores the hope and struggle behind one family's search for a self-sufficient life. |
