"A lot has changed in the work world since the 60’s and 70's. For one thing a woman can no longer be fired from her job when she becomes pregnant. I remember my aunt talking about things like that when she was dismissed from her secretarial job during her first pregnancy."

"I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to not have my own credit card."

"I can’t forgive Gert for not going back to her son when she learned how close she was to the farm."

"Why would she want to go back, when she didn’t even own it anymore. It was her money that bought the place, and even her own son cheated her out of it."

"Yes, but don’t you think he earned it too? Afterall, he suffered when he was alone all those years. And, let’s not forget, he improved the farm a lot."

"I felt sorry for Carl when Martha didn’t stay home with her daughter. He wasn’t prepared for Martha’s new thinking about motherhood and women working."

"I loved the scene when the women marched in front of the bank!"

My favorite scene was when the sheriff tried rounding up the pigs."

"I loved Jason's character. I enjoyed reading about how he was forced to grow up and meet so many responsibilities at the tender age of seventeen and eighteen. While coping with the loss of his parents, he still managed to meet all the daily demands of the farm. He also kept up with his highschool classes and football responsibilities. I loved it when he married the girl next door and started his own family. What an amazing young man his character was. He was clearly my favorite character in this novel."

"I loved watching Martha and Carl's metaphors as they each grew emotionally."

"Gosh, I'd forgotten there was a time when we couldn't have a credit card in our own names just because we were women."
