Meet Conner, a twelve-year-old boy growing up on a farm in western Iowa back in the days when the farm was the center of family life in the Midwestern United States. The boy Connor works hard, grows strong, and learns many lessons about life while living on the farm. He has eleven other siblings in his family, all fourteen family members living at one point in time in a two-bedroom farmhouse with no appliances and running water. He does not complain, he knows nothing different, and he takes the reader through numerous activities that a young boy could devise to keep occupied and have fun on the farm. This book is for anyone who also cherishes memories of farm life back in the day. It is also for those readers who would like an insight into a way of life that has left us and is growing extinct as generations move further from this style of life. The book, although mostly fictional in parts and somewhat accurate in others, provides a historical look at farm life in our past. In summary, the work is a book about a point in our history, a book about our memories, and most importantly, a book about the gift of life.
