The Orchard:  A Memoir

I enjoyed the book but was disappionted that it was not finished by the mother in which the memoir was written by. It seemed I was just getting drawn in when it was over. I admired the writer for her courage,strength and endurance. Had the Depressionnot been going on I have no doubt she would have been successful. I especially enjoyed all the explanations about caring for the bees,and all the work it took to run a large apple orchard. I would have liked to hear about her life after the orchard, and how she came to marry and the raising of her daughter. Maybe the daughter will write a book.We can only hope.
