Description
Edith Summers Kelley wrote Weeds, a novel put out by Harcourt, Brace in New York in 1923. The tale is set in Scott County, Kentucky, amid small farms and hard seasons. It opens with Bill Pippinger, held a good neighbor and a kind husband and father by local lights.
Bill lends his tools and team to all, and he shuns fights in a land quick to draw guns. Dry spells wither his corn, and wet ones let the weeds top it, through no fault he can see. Kelley writes farm life with a clear, unsparing eye. Work, faith, and want press on one family year by year. The book has grown in fame as a true, bleak tale of rural life.
