Thumper: Life on the Farm

A revolution is underway and a way of life is disappearing. Growing up on a small tobacco farm in Maryland in the 1960s, a boy faces dramatic changes in his family and in the world around him. In the midst of this turmoil, a dog named Thumper barges into his life: an animal with with face of a hound, the legs of a dachshund, and a tail that can’t stop wagging. Life will never be the same. Inspired by the author’s experiences, and the unique stories of fox hunters and farmers in Maryland, this piece of Americana is for readers of all ages, from 9 to 90.
