The Farmer's Daughter (2012)
“I was too heavy a rock to sit on any shelf as country people used to say about especially difficult individuals, no matter that my problem was systemic before it was behavioral. However, I do not favor the posture of a victim.
My parents were both unsuccessful academics, my mother with a master’s in classics and my father a doctorate in ornithology which he finally acquired in his early forties from Cornell after a twenty-year struggle with his colleagues and superiors. My mother was of Qua...ker inclination and grew up on a small farm near Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and my father was raised by Unitarian parents in Dowagiac, a small city in southern Michigan near the Indiana border. They shared the reality of their parents being disappointed in them and tended to be remote from their families. Both of my parents as academics tended to think that life was in the effort to understand it. Given this background it is peculiar that I became a hunter though only on two nights a month and I went unarmed.MoreLess
