Book excerpt: About the BookSherion compiles a collection of stories of her childhood in the Northwest Arkansas' Ozark Mountains. She tells stories of her parents and fourteen siblings laboring jointly in the vegetable garden, strawberry fields, and corn patches. The stories include hunting wildlife, butchering hogs, picking wild blackberries and making sorghum from sugarcane. She includes stories of her family traveling to the Bottomlands in Missouri to pick cotton to help pay the Homestead Mortgage. She tells stories of using her daddy's tractor to plow, bush hog, mow, rake, and bale hay. Although her stories tell of her parents teaching their fourteen kids the value of work, they also tell the value of play. She writes stories of the family swimming together in the cow ponds and creeks.
