“A stunning muckraker for our times, this brilliant novel delivers to us rural America’s struggle against corporate agriculture through the eyes of one woman, a wife and young mother catapulted unwillingly to the front lines by her husband’s dying words: “Promise me, Berta, promise me you’ll keep the farm going.” Locked in a David and Goliath conflict with powers well beyond her control, a fatherless child to provide for, and their own survival dependent upon the fragile lives of thousands of baby chicks, Berta must find a path forward where her son can know and love the farm the way his father had.”
