Lessons from the Land is a compelling account of a farm family grounded in solid values and traditions, and is a testament to the strength and resilience of community.  Facing a life-altering decision, the author takes a nostalgic journey to his roots in rural Alberta.  This engaging narrative is a roller coaster ride of emotions with stories of mysterious legends and abandoned fortunes, childhood secrets and perilous adventures, brushes with death, and encounters with nature’s wrath at its worst. Youthful escapades, struggles, and triumphs are wrapped in lessons that would ultimately shape a life, build character, and prove their value in the years to come.  Unusual and oftentimes humorous exploits with family members, friends, and neighbours make this a colourful, gritty, and unforgettable memoir.
