Stolen Fields: A Story of Eminent Domain and the Death of the American Dream (Paperback - Used) 0979933048 9780979933042

A memoir of the sad tale of the loss of the family farm. The story also deals with the issue of incest (from the author's blog: When my cousin was a little girl, our grandfather started offering her money for little favors -- a quarter at first, then fifty cents, and so on. The child drew the line when his offer reached a dollar, and she told her parents. I hadn't believed my sister when she told me he grabbed her when she was a teen-ager and she screamed and escaped. I asked her about it again when my cousin told me her story and my sister elaborated to tell me that when she told our mother, Mom told her that as a teenager she had been warned away from him by her mother because of something concerning my aunt.)
