The author's husband was a farmer who died in 2019, after having spent a lifetime sowing and reaping, cultivating flat ground into straight rows, turning brown dirt into white fields of cotton. Her mother grew up on a dryland farm, picked cotton, drove a tractor long enough to know she did not want to, then took up gardening in earnest after her own husband, also a gardener, died. In 2021, the author's mother was diagnosed with cancer. The fear and isolation of the Covid pandemic fell in between. Grief, uncertainty and loneliness took root. You Plant More Seed on a Crooked Row is a collection of essays and poems about finding communion with one's own grief, acknowledging the sorrow of others, and finally discovering the grace that grows alongside grief.
