The home place: Meditations on an Ozark life

Fayrene Farmer has captivated newspaper readers tor many years with her tales from Nubbin Ridge, a magical snapshot of rural life that has become a popular feature for thousands of readers in the Ozarks Mountains. Fayrene has that talent which so many writers wish they had: the ability to paint a picture with just a few words, always evoking emotion, laughter and joy. Nubbin Ridge is a place where a farm family experiences life and death, and Fayrene records it with the spare strokes of a master artist. She writes of daffodils, old friends, ornery cattle, men and women, motherhood, unbridled love and life's sad turns, with a remarkable style and down-home humor that can only be traced to those who work the land. Fayrene Farmer is an undiscovered American treasure. I know this after editing her columns for the past five years; rarely did I feel I could change a single letter in the work of such a wonderful writer.
