This collection of persona poems serves as a time machine taking you back to an earlier era when most people—maybe your parents or grandparents—created their lives in close connection with the land. Addie Finch was such a woman, a Nebraska farmwife during the early and mid-1900s, a woman of wit and wisdom, of tenderheartedness and great strength. She was the kind of woman who pushed up her sweater sleeves in the face of sickness and trouble, who allowed a newborn lamb to sleep in a cardboard box behind the kitchen range. Where we come from matters. This book invites the reader to return to that place and that time.
