Not particularly memorable, just an okay read...


This Life Is in Your Hands: One Dream, Sixty Acres, and a Family Undone
Review Date: 12/10/2013
Helpful Score: 3


Candid and insightful look into the formative years of the author on a rural New England farm. Very moving story that captures the highs and lows of this family's "back to the earth" existence in the 70's. The tragic drowning death of the author's toddler sister is the final unraveling of the family; and catapults the young author into parenting her own mother. Haunting, yet redemptively healing tale. Well worth reading.
