About this book

A spring morning on the Landholm farm sets Susan Warner's family novel in motion. Beside a broad river, the household divides the day's work between sowing wheat and ploughing the upland fields. Brothers Rufus and Winthrop take out the oxen, and an encounter with a mischievous farm worker reveals their different tempers. Rufus answers the prank with anger, while Winthrop responds with composure. Even the packed lunch and the climb to the fields give the family's daily work a distinct texture.

Sibling affection and Christian faith give this rural story its emotional weight. In a later scene, Winnie clings to Winthrop during a storm, finding comfort in his presence and in his declaration of faith. The novel brings moral questions into ordinary conversation and moments of distress.
