After a tragic accident the Wrights find a new beginning moving
from the city with all its conveniences to a forty acre farm on the
banks of Holiday Creek. Told from the perspective of their
nine-year-old son David, the Wrights meet the neighboring Jones
family. Dick Wright is a rising star in the Fort Dodge public
school system. Old Jim Jones introduces himself as "a flunky who
works for United States Gypsum." The two families send their
children to Holliday Creek School two miles away. The one-room
school thrives under the leadership of Miss Jordison, the teacher
you always wished you had. "Each One Teach One" is her process as
recalled by the author, David Wright, himself a published educator.
Vivid family contrasts are woven into this narrative that shows
America in the Truman Era witnessing the advent of electricity, the
telephone, and the Baby Boom generation. This book depicts
Progressive Republicans confronting forces of social change, Big
Government, and Reaction. Underlying this story are the ideals of
personal liberty and the challenges of living close to nature.
