In the late 1940s, Janice and Henry Giles moved from Louisville, Kentucky, back to the Appalachian hill country where Henry had grown up and where his family had lived since the time of the Revolution. With their savings, the couple bought a ramshackle house and forty acres of land on a ridge top and set out to be farmers like Henry's forebears.To this personal account of the trials of a city woman trying to learn the ways of the country and of her neighbors, Janice Holt Giles brings the same warmth, humor, and powers of observation that characterize her novels. Enlightening and evocative, personal and universally pertinent, this description of a year of 'backaches, fun, low ebbs, and high tides, and above all a year of eminent satisfaction' will be welcomed by Janice Holt Giles's many readers, old and new.Janice Holt Giles (19051979), author of nineteen books, lived and wrote near Knifley, Kentucky, for thirtyfour years. Her biography is told in Janice Holt Giles: A Writer's Life.
