Mill Creek: The Farm Years

This is the story of a young boy's life on a rural farm in Ramseur, NC in the 1960s. Themes in this book are the joys and creativity of a simple lifestyle, the character that is shaped or sometimes even distorted through hardship, and the longing for personal adventure and fulfillment. Topics in this book are the nostalgia of bygone days, the dynamics of family life when forbidden substances breed dependency, and how dreams are forged in mystery and then cherished upon reflection. In his three years living on a farm, young Jones learns about the changes and frailty of mortal life, the awe of siblings and other living things, and the sheer delight of pranks and harmless revenge. This is country life through a child's eyes.
