FURROWS and HEDGEROWS contains indelible memories of a disappearing way of life on the farm reflected in short stories and recipes that capture the best of the past for today and for future generations.
I titled my book from my childhood memories growing up on an Indiana farm in the post-World War II era. I remember the days when farm fields were divided by hedgerows. Furrows were made when plowing a field in the springtime. Hedgerows are rows of Osage Orange trees planted close together to form a fence. The rock-hard wood from these trees last a lifetime, never deteriorating. Furrows and hedgerows are symbolic of the Perry family; furrows are new beginnings, and hedgerows endure a lifetime, strong, protective and well remembered.
