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

5.0

I felt this was an interesting and thought provoking book. I've read some of the negative reviews and with all respect (the reviews I read were very thoughtful) I think they missed the forest for the trees. The book in my reading is about the alienation the author feels exists between two worlds, an alienation she sees herself as trying to bridge. the two worlds are irreconcilable however, their foundational beliefs systems can't talk to each other. This is *not* a book about wheat farming and harvesting and its *not* a book about Mennonites.
