Using the first-person voice of her husband as narrator, Peterson crafts a warmly personal look at their family farm, noting both constants and changes over the farm's hundred-year history. Family album photographs, reproduced in soft-edged sepia, give descriptions of the past a nostalgic yet immediate appeal and contrast well with the sharp-edged full-color contemporary shots.
