Straight talk from up on the farmRaised on a small dairy farm in the Driftless Area in the midtwentieth century, Gary Jones gets real about his rural roots. In this collection of interrelated stories, Jones writes with plainspoken warmth and irreverence about farm, family, and folks on the ridge. Readers will meet Gramp Jones, whose oversized overalls saved him from losing a chunk of flesh to an irate sow; the young oneroomschool teacher who helped the kids make sled jumps at recess; Charlotte, the lawnmowing sheep who once ended up in the living room; Victor the pigcutter, who learned his trade from folk tradition rather than vet school; and other colorful characters of the ridge. Often humorous and occasionally touching, Joness essays paint a vivid picture that will entertain city and country folk alike.
