The Gleaner (revised - 2nd edition ): An Agrarian Odyssey
A Vermont farm boy makes his way across the continent meeting Amish folk, migrant farm workers, Native Americans, people who are living out their lives still connected to the working landscape amid the tectonic shifts of the 1960's counterculture. Family tragedy has driven Danny Sweeney away from home. He gleans nourishment from new experiences and relationships as he moves from late adolescence into young manhood; from self-abandonment to self-discovery. The Gleaner is a paean to our lost heritage, our vital connection to land and working animals and to the Earth itself.
