Reader's Reviews:

A Reader’s Review of Saving the Farm; A Journey through Time, Place, and Redemption

 
Saving  the Farm  is a well-crafted, lovingly written story reminiscent of a master weaver.   Individual threads of genealogy, local history, individual and social change, family pride, economics, politics, archeology, technical specifications and architecture; woven into a seamless, warm and very comfortable blanket that envelops the reader.  A blanket  the reader never wants to remove.

 
I am sad that I have finished reading Saving the Farm as I have enjoyed every moment traveling through the centuries.  The reading of Saving the Farm may be over, but the memories will last forever. Saving the Farm was an extreme delight  to read, thank you for giving me hours of pure enjoyment and for weaving a wonderful and vibrant tale.
