American Harvest: God, Country, and Farming in the Heartland by Marie Mutsuki Mockett

5.0

Though the title tagline in 'God, Country, and Farming in the Heartland' this book is really about belief, what people believe and why, and opens up conversations that go way beyond a wheat harvest, delving into race, class, religion, education, on and on. This is one of the most compassionate, thought-provoking books I've read in a long time. If anyone is looking for a perfect book-club selection, this is it. It a great book to read (it's well-written and wonderfully told), but an even better book to discuss.
