The heart of the book lies in material collected from more than two hundred interviews conducted by Audry Webb.
It is also a story about how a community is created out of families and how they cope with the vagaries of weather and climate and of the demands of distant markets, a micro-cosmic view of the development of modern extensive grain-growing in WA, throwing new light on the hardships and difficulties of farming, as well as telling of its successes and joys (book jacket).
