Synopsis

The Agan Chronicles is a book of memories of my mother’s families: the Agans and the Croys. As I look back on the Agan and Croy families, the central core of their lives seemed to be a longing for, and love of, the land. In these families, farms were cherished, farms were lost, and when families were forced to live without land they felt displaced. This longing for land, for forty, eighty, a hundred acres, was a constant ache. The story of my mother’s family is one of hard times and poverty, triumph and tragedy. It is a story of dreams deferred, and always, this longing for the land.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Barbara Paulding was born in Hamilton, Iowa in “The Little Black House,” a coalminer’s shack covered in tarpaper. Her early life was spent in many different small, southern Iowa towns. Whenever she could, she spent time on her relative’s farms, loving the peace and freedom of being in the country. When her mother’s parents finally realized their dream of having their own land, Barbara’s happiest childhood memories revolved around that little hard scrabble farm. Although her life has taken many twists and turns, Barbara has never lost her love of the land. Throughout her life she has struggled to find some way to live in the country, to live in peace. Barbara and her husband, Kirk Moody, live on a small acreage in southern Iowa. She has written a novel, Ghost Town Truck Stop, and a family anthology, Stories From My Father.
