Watching the Land: The McKenna Chronicles: Prequel Volume Two

In this the second prequel of the McKenna Chronicles, Morgan and Amy have done what Morgan swore he would never do. They have left the northern river life of logging camps and moved South to Dooley, Georgia, to try farming with Morgan's brother, Kevin; with Eli Brett, and their families. This is the story of the years in Dooley leading up to when the Old House Bunch is established. Through unexpected tragedies, with blissful young love and the chaos of raising children, the extended McKenna family establishes itself in the hills of Southern Appalachia. Did Morgan instill enough of his tough love in his children; did Amy's mothering under gird them with enough confidence to continue into adulthood? Only time will tell.
