The Earth is Enough by Harry Middleton
In this touching memoir of his boyhood on a farm in the Ozark foothills, Harry Middleton joins the front rank of nature writers alongside Edward Hoagland and Annie Dillard.
It is the year 1965, a year rife with change in the world---and in the life of a boy whose tragic loss of innocence leads him to the healing landscape of the Ozarks. Haunted by indescribable longing, twelve-year-old Harry is turned over to two enigmatic guardians, men as old as the hills they farm and as elusive and beautiful as the trout they fish for---with religious devotion. Seeking strength and purpose from life, Harry learns from his uncle, grandfather, and their crazy Sioux neighbor, Elias Wonder, that the pulse of life beats from within the deep constancy of the earth, and from one's devotion to it. Amidst the rhythm of an ancient cadence, Harry discovers his home: a farm, a mountain stream, and the eye of a trout rising.
The Earth is Enough, The Brilliant Land, and Rivers of Remembering are among Harry Middleton's critically appreciated works. The Friends of American Writers Award, the Outdoor Writers Association of America Best Book Award, and the Southeastern Outdoor Press Best Book Award have all been bestowed upon him. At the age of 43, he died unexpectedly in 1993.
