Book Description
Many baby boomers will face the dilemma of inheriting a farm, house, or other family property rich in sentimental value. Unfortunately, in today's market, that inheritance may be a financial liability rather than an asset. The farm near Richardson Hill presents John Sneyde with just such a problem. John has inherited both the 484-acre farm that his mother's family has owned and operated since 1830, and his mother's repertory of family lore-she frequently reminded John of the history and emotional value of the land, and of the various sacrifices the family has made in order to keep it. Unfortunately, John has modern issues to deal with, and running the farm from six hundred miles away is not an easy task. More importantly, the monetary value of the land, when compared to the money generated from the farm, does not warrant keeping it. Torn between loyalty to his family and the demands of his life, John decides to sell the farm. But in the midst of this process, he begins to view the ancestors who first farmed the land in a different light, and realizes that their actions helped make him the man he is today. Richardson Hill is a touching family saga full of warmth and memories, and the story of a man who must make peace with his past before he can move forward with the future.
