Freedom Farm

Jennifer Neves

Large print - 2021

"Being born the daughter of surgeons does not make you a surgeon, but what about being the daughter of farmers? What happens when childhood and on-the-job training are one and the same? In Jennifer Neves's inquisitive and humorous collection of essays about growing up and raising a family in rural Maine, there is little doubt that memories and the stories they inspire continue to guide and shape her throughout life. This collection is both an investigation into the authenticity of family lore and a meditation on the nature of memory itself, how it changes over time and how we are changed by it"--
