" This was my first introduction to Wendell Berry with a book I borrowed from my parents. It was like wrapping up with a warm blanket in front of a toasty fire - warm, comforting, soothing, slow, and savory. It was not action-packed by any means but rather reflective and calmingly slow-moving. It is the story of a young boy's first journey by himself to visit both sets of his grandparents in Port William, Kentucky. The story is told by the old man he has grown into looking back and remembering this time. Like some books are "beach reads", this book is a "log cabin read". I will read more of Wendell Berry. "
