I can not get enough of the book "A Land Remembered." I think it is my new favorite book. It makes me want to just trek East and find a completely secluded and isolated place to stay for a while. I love the hard work and dedication that help the characters meet their goals and without there is no way they would have the will to survive. I am inspired by the gardens and orange trees and the incredible journeys they go on to sell their cattle. I absolutely can not put down this and will be quite upset when it is over. I think I like it so much because it shows how life used to be so basic and survival was based on hard work, not going to the grocery store. It also shows us how much has changed since people first started to inhabit Florida. I think it is easier to relate to because I live in Florida, and I have always been fascinated by native Florida plants and wildlife.
