Farm Girl
Farm Girl: A Wisconsin Memoir | Beuna Coburn Carlson
1 post
When Bunny Coburn was growing up, neighbors came together in times of hardship. No matter the trouble, they faced it with determination, camaraderie, and resourcefulness. In the midst of the Great Depression, despite record-breaking heat and crop failure, growing up on the family farm was nevertheless filled with bucolic pleasures. Farm Girl is Beuna "Bunny" Coburn Carlson's loving tribute to the gently rolling hills of western Wisconsin. With an inviting and fluid voice, she shares intimate moments of happinesses from her childhood: collecting butternuts for homemade maple candy, watching her father read by the flickering light of a kerosene lamp, and the joy of finding a juicy orange at the bottom of a Christmas stocking. Underlying each vignette is the courage of a strong family surviving adversity and finding comfort in one another. Hers is a memoir that readers can dip in and out of with pleasure.

I greatly enjoyed this memoir told in vignettes. Buena‘s mother was certainly hardworking and resourceful. She had to be!

Brought to mind stories my grandma would tell about growing-up on a Wisconsin farm around the same time. Also gave me some Little House on the Prairie vibes.
