Opis

When terrorist attacks are launched in different parts of the country, Peanie Wingate, a retired woodsman, fears the worst, and implores his family to take shelter at his countryside New Hampshire home. Rich in Yankee ingenuity and common sense (but lacking formal education) Peanie becomes a teacher, imparting survival skills that are reminiscent of his childhood and of growing up during the Depression at his grandparents' farm on the facing hillside. The memories conjure up the painful legacy of his past and the secrets it holds. But, Peanie's adult children have painful memories of their own ... about him. Their strong personalities challenge him to adapt to their principles, and he must weigh his love of material things against his love of the land and his family. For, not only do they embody his strengths and weaknesses, they are the key to his survival.
