The yarn unravels and endlessly shape-shifts into flowers and trees and animals and? into humans as well. Following the line of life, we reach a tipping point, the recent pandemic. A shared chapter of sadness, desolation and separation but also an unexpected chance for human-heartfelt contemplation. With a new awareness, the humans realize that the only way forward is together. Inspired by unity, they take one big harmonious breath to flip the page into history. And that my dear, was the beginning of Earth Family.
Download or read book Family of Earth written by Wilma Dykeman and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovered as a typewritten manuscript only after her death in 2006, Family of Earth allows us to see into the young mind of author and Appalachian native Wilma Dykeman (1920–2006), who would become one of the American South's most prolific and storied writers. Focusing on her childhood in Buncombe County, Dykeman reveals a perceptive and sophisticated understanding of human nature, the environment, and social justice. And yet, for her words' remarkable polish, her voice still resonates as raw and vital. Against the backdrop of early twentieth-century life in Asheville, she chronicles the touching, at times harrowing, story of her family's fortunes, plotting their rise and fall in uncertain economic times and ending with her father's sudden death in 1934 when she was fourteen years old. Featuring a new foreword by fellow North Carolinian Robert Morgan, Family of Earth stands as a new major literary work by a groundbreaking author.

Rick Hammond grew up on a farm, and for forty years he has raised cattle and crops on his wife’s fifth-generation homestead in Nebraska, in hopes of passing it on to their four children. But as the handoff nears, their family farm—and their entire way of life—are under siege on many fronts, from shifting trade policies, to encroaching pipelines, to climate change. Following the Hammonds from harvest to harvest, Ted Genoways explores the rapidly changing world of small, traditional farming operations. He creates a vivid, nuanced portrait of a radical new landscape and one family’s fight to preserve their legacy and the life they love.
