About this title: This is Garland's bittersweet recollection of growing up on a Wisconsin farm. He paints a sympathetic portrait of his mother, detailing the drudgery of farm life and her unhappy resignation as his domineering father moves the family ever westward. The author's gradual disillusionment with the pioneer ideal emerges from the narrative.
