What is Chronicles of a country girl : growing up in Yonge Mills about?

Just off the main road, not far from Brockville, Ontario, lies the once bustling village of Yonge Mills. Nearly forgotten by time and progress, it remains vivid in the memories of Patricia Cove. She and her five brothers and sisters were raised there on the family farm during the years immediately following the Second World War, where every member of the family was expected to do their share in order to make ends meet. Together, they collected sap in the spring, tended gardens in the summer, put up preserves in the fall and stayed snug and warm in the big stone house during the winter. She discovered a love of learning at the one-room schoolhouse and plenty of adventures down at Jones Creek and on Raleigh Island. While life could be hard at times, often it was simpler, as Patricia recalls in this touching recollection of a way of life that is gently slipping away.
