Seasons Silently Waiting

About the Book

Life changed in unexpected ways when Eileen Mayer, a sheltered California girl, married Idaho potato farmer Gene Thiel. Her story is more than a love story, more than a coming of age story; it’s also a story of determination and faith, and how sometimes. Not having the right shoes for hiking means having to learn to fly instead. Set against the backdrop of the tense political climate of the 1960s and the loss of small farms to big agribusiness, it’s not a story of justice-but one readers can share the humor, suspense, and Eileen’s new sense of the raw beauty of a farmer’s way of life.
