Justin, the father, is a divided self, shifting seemingly without cause from exuberance to gloom. His stoic wife, Rosemary, finds his moods incomprehensible, yet is seduced by his love of life and talent for risk-taking, characteristics she sees and prizes in their three children as well. As events spin increasingly out of control, Rosemary finds herself alone in the eye of the storm. Using multiple viewpoints, Lockhart tracks the Williams family's internal and external struggles in a rural environment, a landscape that often reflects the mood of family members caught in a precarious balance between the extremes of entrapment and growth, despair and hope. Lockhart's novel is ultimately about the enduring web of family set against the mysteries of personality and fate.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50669538476305,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50669539688721,"sku":"CIN0870744763G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52635522924817,"sku":"CIN0870744763VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870744763.jpg?v=1786129096"},{"product_id":"will-s-tractor-book-barbara-lockhart-9781628061314","title":"Will's Tractor","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Will and Maude buy an old farm, Will finds an old tractor in the barn.

Mosey's Field illuminates the beauty of the rural landscape, the change in seasons, and the progression of agricultural methods. While Mosey continues the search for his special place, children are not only connected to the environment, but the important concept of where food comes from.
