A hybrid memoir / art book, with an introduction

by New York Times Bestselling author Barbara

Kingsolver.

In 130 ink-and-watercolor drawings, the story of

one year on a family farm in Kentucky unfolds

in captured moments of daily life: Donahue’s

husband chopping wood, a cow sniffing her

head, her daughter tending to goats after a hard

day at school. Each visual is paired with a written

reflection on the day’s doings, interwoven with

the longer-arc history of her family, the farm,

and their community.

In telling the story of a farm family’s struggle

to survive and thrive, Landings grapples with

the legacy of our cultural divide between art

and land, and celebrates the beauty discovered

along the way.
