1. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Ohm as an instructor while attending Washburn University in Topeka. It wasn't until several years after I graduated that I ran into Dr. Ohm at a book signing. As the one reviewer stated - this is the type of book that people should read. It will slow you down (in a good way) - and let you smell the roses (as it were).
   
   The reader is transported back to a simpler time - before all the electronic gizmos that now seem to demand our time. The people are real. The places are real. And they are brought to us by a writer who lived it. I just can't get my head around the fact that Dr. Ohm was a kid at one time! Just as my kids cannot grasp that concept either.
   
   I do hope that he writes another book where the last one stopped. In these days, we could use it.



2. Although, I grew up in South Dakota, I visited my grandparents in Kansas many summers and holidays. I have many memories of warm summer nights catching lightning bugs and just relaxing on the porch swing. This is an enjoyable story and I highly recommend it.



3. The author captures a sense of nostalgia that our country needs right now. In this day of immediate gratification, x-boxes, playstations, bazillion gigaherze whatevers, it is nice to be reminded that things were not always so fast and furious. The feeling of being close to the land and to your family and community is a welcome change from our daily grind. I would recommend this book to everyone. The author has a real talent for taking the reader back to a time when things were more simple and quiet. I can almost taste the hot chocolate... read the book to find out how it tastes.

1. I have worked with Judith for years and I knew she would always write a good book This One I really Likes Jan



2. This wonderful book, talks of family life. If they would read the book it is true to the heart. The storys are to encourage and instill memories in all. Family is what makes life more interesting in this cold hard world. Learning about farming is what was in this book. If you read it you will find it is not to tear down but show our lives in a positive light. As for Aunts and Uncles it is not to destroy anyones reputation but to acknowlege their existence on this planet earth we live on. IF names were changed it was to protect them. If they were used it is in honor to them. The author has no intention to hurt those who were shown love in the book. Read the book and feel the love for if anyone of you read this book. If is not about her aunt and uncles but about her and her family. The aunts and uncles are in everyones life. And yes the stories are true. The book is a biography. If anyone reads it they love it.



3. it wasn't a real true story about her at all it was based on her aunt's and uncle's life.it didn't make since that she put her words into a story that didn't make since for her life.She used her aunt's and uncle's personel lifes in the book with out even asking them at all with out permission.and shouldn't even be sold at all. and makeing money out of her aunt's and uncle's life they should recieve it.and stuff that didn't even happened to her and it wasn't true at all the stuff she said about her aunt's and uncle's should have been personel and the media shouldn't even now the stuff at all.



4. Wow! Growing up on a farm in 1968. It was an experience to live.I think it's better than little house on the praire. This book puts you there in 1968 on that 40 acre farm. I learned how farming was through Judith's eye's was exciting. This book took me through adventure,and back through time. It is truly positive and inspiring. She shared the joy of owning a pony for the first time. Unexpected things thing's alway's happened. And the illustration's will blow you away. I think every kid should have one!It would be good reading material for school's. It will truly intrigue you. The reading is easy to follow and very enjoyable. I recomend it to everyone whoever wanted to be on a farm. Who has been on a farm.Or to those whoever dreamed of being somewhere other than they are right now. Or to anyone who just want's positive, non-violent,and enjoyable reading material.
