Set aside any political opinions and enjoy this book. It is finely written memoir of growing up in the early 20th century on a farm in the south. I discussed it with relatives of mine who grew up on a farm in North Dakota and it was telling their story also. It also shows how one's early experiences shape the adult viewpoint and life direction. Very readable, and has photos of all the people mentioned in the memoir.
