Pastime Publications

A tender, heartfelt account of a childhood that might have been fraught with despair, but instead was taken up as an adventure. The author's positive and playful recollections are deeply personal, but many of them extend beyond the lives of two kids who had the unique opportunity to call the Old Bale Mill, an historical monument in the Napa Valley, home for five years. Hikes and chores, animal tales, testing one's courage, the loving care of grandparents, all these have broad appeal. All ages.
