Strength from the Hills

The book is a condensed version of God's Oddling, a biography of Jesse Stuart's father, Mitchell Stuart -- a rural man who could not read or write. But Mick Stuart had learned the important things in life from the hills around him. He had little money, but his love for all growing things, and strength he drew from the earth made him rich in happiness. Jesse Stuart tells how his father taught him the unalterable values of right and wrong, love of family and love of education.
