5 out of 5 stars CAPTIVATING   December 12, 2006

I have the audiobook version and I feel like I lived every moment of Jager's childhood. It's well written, open and honest; it's not only interesting, but a journey through the history of the American family farm.

I couldn,t put it down, but I wanted it to last...Every page evoked a memory and a smile, or an outright laugh. It paints a picture with broad stokes, and fine insight. Wit and wisdom and loveable folks throughout...Sorry to see it ended.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!   May 23, 2004

I did not grow up in the Great Depression, nor Michigan, when and where this book takes place. I grew up on a farm in Iowa in the 1960s, yet this book described my childhood perfectly! The work ethic, parental discipline and life in rural America Jager describes is now a part of history. I am thankful he captured it so well for future generations. If you grew up on a farm, you will love this book as well!


5 out of 5 stars an invitation to michigan farming   December 1, 1997

The book was absolutely fabulous! It was as if the reader had been invited to take part in the michigan farm. It was heart-wrenching, yet funny at times. It made me remember that I'm a farm-boy at heart!
