Summary
In the tenth entry in Wendell Berry’s beloved Port William Membership series, young Andy Catlett embarks on a solo trip by bus to visit his grandparents in Port William, Kentucky, during the Christmas of 1943.
This “eloquent distillation of Berry’s favorite themes: the importance of family, community and respect for the land,” Andy observes the modern world crowding out the old ways. The people he encounters become touchstones for his understanding of a precious and imperiled world.
