The subtitle of this book is an accurate description of what it's all about, and maybe one reason I like it so much is because it was written by a woman who grew up at pretty much the same time as my mother in pretty much the same part of Iowa. So all the while I was reading it, I kept remembering things I've heard about or observed - details about a way of life that was very similar to the way my mother and my grandparents lived.
