This book was reviewed by my sister Rebecca so I knew I should take a look. Michael Perry has a wonderful turn of phrase and sense of humor and a Wisconsin childhood very similar to my own. So much so, that I was picturing all my own locations as he described the daily events of his life on the farm. The memories of church, farming and a large family with foster children were spot on. It had frequent lol parts, at least for me, and I look forward to reading his other books.
