From the Author
The loss of farms and villages doesn't cut much ice
Urban reviewers find it hard to care viscerally about the loss of farms, and the villages where highschool classmates still marry each other and families have lived on the same land for 200 years and work with their actual hands and tools and skills. Most reviewers think I'm pretty darn brave to live out here with neither streetlights nor sidewalks, bears and mountain lions on the lawn, and no neighbor within shouting distance. But hey. It's sad that ten years ago I was looking down into the valley at cows & peaches & apples & corn, where now the golf courses and Executive Estates spread far and wide. It was nice once to think we could at least feed ourselves locally and fire up our woodstoves, whatever happened to the crops in California or the oil in Iran. Remember: all proceeds from this book go to support a struggling writer on a windswept mountaintop!
