    This is a farming novel without a romantic pairing. The female protagonist lives in a mountain village, gathering wild produce, hunting game, clearing wasteland, and cooking delicious food. There are many able-bodied people in the family; her son does the dirty and hard work, while she makes the decisions. It's a fairly ordinary story, not about sudden wealth, but about a small business with no big opportunities. The family grows from nothing, from a dilapidated house to a warm and cozy home. Her brothers, sisters-in-law, and in-laws are all very kind people. There are no truly awful characters. It's a simple and peaceful story, very heartwarming and healing.
