Book Description
What picture of farm life is complete without the woman at its heart? Rising before dawn to start the fire, sitting up long after dark to do her mending, she holds farm and family together. In moving photographs and prose, this book celebrates the life of the farm wife, with its hours of hard work and moments of ineffable sweetness. Pictured at tasks such as feeding chickens or on the tractor; caught in a rare stillness against the endless horizon or in a moment of well-deserved rest: Here is the farm wife as she is and was and will be, at the heart of the American farm, and of the American story.

Book Description
Life as a farm wife on the plains of eastern Colorado held unexpected surprises for Diana, who had only recently worn high heels to work in a Denver office. Her manicured nails hit the dust (or in this case, the transmission oil); learning to drive a combine involved running over a fence; a leisurely walk down a country road brought her into contact with a loose bull; a bridge about to collapse from dry rot led to an unexpected benefit. Alishouse tells her stories with charm, with wit, and with compassion for the lives of the people who used to feed the world. Farm Wife Stories chronicles a time that is, unfortunately, becoming obsolete-a time when family farms were the norm, before their takeover by agricultural conglomerates. It doesn't matter whether you are a farmer, whether you'd like to be a farmer, whether you can't imagine ever being a farmer, or whether you think bread comes from a plastic bag, these stories of Diana's life as a farm wife are sure to entertain.

From the gentlemen farmers among our founders to today’s grandchild walking the beans, rural life has always been at the very heart of the American story. This is the life that unfolds page by page in this heartfelt book about working the land. One remarkable photograph after another celebrates the farming life, finding the beauty in work well done, land well tended, and a rest well earned—all infused with the wisdom of the apt quotation culled from the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Dwight D. Eisenhower, Aristotle and Emerson, Rabelais and Grandma Moses.
