Book Review and Awards
"Funny and heartwarming" - Jared Hess, writer/director of Napoleon Dynamite "This is a wonderful book; we enjoyed it immensely. Fascinating! At Season's End takes us to a place that all of us should know about: the life of a family of migrant workers in the '20s and'30s in the Northwest United States. Eric Hendershot is a master storyteller as he skillfully weaves the history and stalwart personalities of that era into our hearts and minds and reminds us that nothing is more important than having a strong family." - Richard and Linda Eyre, speakers and authors of multiple books, including the New York Times #1 bestseller Teaching Your Children Values
