New York: Summit Books, (1988) dj. Hardcover first edition - Both an account of the often rocky relationship between a father and son and a testimony to his fathers courage during the last seasons working the Michigan farm where they were both raised, even as corporate agriculture has driven out most of their neighbors. "Fredrick Kohn had farmed the family homestead in the Saginaw Valley since his return from World War II. After forty years, with advancing age, failing health, bad weather, falling prices, pesky oil drillers, creeping suburban sprawl, and the exodus of his children, he starts to wonder if maybe the time has come to stop." 270 pp. Dust jacket art by Wendell Minor.
