"This book is lighthearted and serious, charming and hopeful." - Professor A. Salzman

"These books are like sifting through a box of family photos and having your heart and mind filled with nostalgia and a love for what is truly most important...family." - K. Smith High School Language Arts Teacher

Denise Issert’s Philosophical Disquisition series paints a cheerful and sentimental family portrait of a transitional period in American rural local history that has almost been lost to memory. She recalls with touching detail the way life was lived by the hard-working farmer families of the Illinois prairie after the middle of the last century. Her backward glances bring her recollections of grandparents, friends, neighbors and other characters into a present that is rich with her own children and extended family in that changing world. Her troubled reflections about the disagreement with a family member about whether or not it is correct to acknowledge the family’s Confederate past is a tour de force, telescoping past into present, private into public. This series is lighthearted and serious, charming and hopeful.
