This is Jayne Brox first of three books about her family farm in Dracut, MA. After years of living away, Brox made the decision to return to the farm of her birth, where her aging father still tended their crops, assisted by her troubled brother and other members of the community. In this striking memoir of her reintroduction to the land and its habits, she captures the cadences of farm life and those who sustain it, at a time when the visbility of both are waning.

Winner of the prestigious L.L.Winship/PEN New England Award Award, Here and Nowhere Else was cited for its "loving, precisely written evocation of a New England place and its people...reminiscent of Thoreau in its exactness and breadth of implication." 

Ms. Brox is a member of the Thoreau Society and currently lives in Maine.
