"Home" is the story of growing and growing up in a place where
human beings made a hard land home, a place of profound trust and
security, space, and responsibility. It celebrates family, the
family of father and mother, the extended family of uncles and
aunts and grandparents, the larger family of community, molded by
the land and weather and time, yet never reduced by necessity into
confusing making a living with making a life. "Home" is about
living in an agrarian world of the 30's and 40's, with all the
usual uncertainties connected with crops and animal husbandry, and
all the certainties of decent persons sharing a common endeavor,
living close to the land and animals and each other. The story is
related quietly, respectfully, with no pretense of romantic or
narrative embellishment.
A common denominator is hard, physical labor handled with the
competence and grace of necessity and opportunity rather than the
demands of hardship--handled so well that good times and leisure
seem part of a seamless whole, no one, nothing, left out, all
things part of the scheme, so that no other environment ever seems
so complete and secure, no other place so reliable as to be called
home.
