Editor's Note:
Back to the scenes of her childhood on a Missouri farm goes Mary Margaret McBride in this wholly delightful book. Out of her rich fund of fond recollections, she presents a picture of American farm life that will touch the heart and stir the imagination of every reader.Around the seasons she takes you, sharing her joys and sorrows on the Old Home Place. Seed time and harvesting, gardening and preserving, hog killing and soap making--the whole circle of homely duties is made. Her stories of long, lazy summer days, of Christmas as a time of festive meals rather than of gifts, of a county fair where father was humiliated by winning a "second," of a spring revival meeting where she resolved to be a better girl--are sometimes gay and sometimes sad with an underlying philosophical note.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access How Dear to My Heart by Mary Margaret McBride. Crafted for the discerning reader.
