Cutting Hill

Across the twelve months of a single year, this book follows the Treadway family as they work their dairy farm in New England, land that has passed through their hands for generations. Its pages move with the calendar, from one season's demands to the next, and cover the daily routine of milking and barn work along with the hardships and hopes that come with keeping a family farm running.

The account takes in both the heartbreak and the satisfaction of farm life, showing how the Treadways face loss and money worries while still finding moments of happiness in their work. It will appeal to readers interested in rural life, agriculture and the New England countryside.
