Farm childhood across a century

Billi J. Miller gathers accounts of growing up on farms from the 1920s through 2022, placing memories from different generations side by side. The stories range from after-school routines and weekend activities to field meals, rides in a combine, garden berries, and forts built in hay bales. The book’s perspective is rooted in children’s everyday experiences, with an opening account prompted by the memories of Miller’s husband’s 100-year-old grandmother. Together, the recollections offer a picture of how farm childhood is remembered across time, and of the ordinary details that shape those memories.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults curious about children’s experiences of farm life across generations

Book overview

Meals in the field, combine rides with Grandad, picking fresh berries out of the garden and building forts in the bales.

 

In her fourth book celebrating farm life, Billi J. Miller examines what farm life is like -- through the eyes of children. Only not just interviewing "today's" children - this book tells the stories of farm kids from the 1920s to 2022. Starting with her husband's 100-year-old grandmother, Miller asks what her days looked like when she came home from school, her memories of her mom, and what she did most on weekends.

 

Peppered with the hilarity and frank honesty only present-day "kids" can master, this book is filled with stories that will enlighten you, warm your heart, and make you laugh out loud.

 

Whether you still reminisce from your own childhood on a farm or you want to learn what it's all about - these are the stores from our lives.
