A stunning muckraker for our times, this brilliant novel delivers us to Tennessee farming through the heart of one woman--a wife, a new mother--whose beloved husband has just died. Her love for him will pit her against fate with his dying words: "Promise me, Berta, promise me you'll keep the farm going." With a fatherless child to provide for and their own survival dependent on the fragile lives of thousands of baby chicks, Berta must find a path forward where her son can know and love the farm the way his father had.
