American Harvest: God, Country, and Farming in the Heartland by Marie Mutsuki Mockett

I found this book so very interesting.  It had been advertised as a blend of science, philosophy, and spirituality--and it's a pilgrimage of sorts.  When Marie inherited the family farm from her father and Japanese mother she accompanies a group of evangelical christian wheat farmers through the heartland for a thoughtful examination of not only food production but the growing divide between rural and urban America.  It is an examination of landscape, ourselves, others, and faith in an attempt to better understand that divide and perhaps form a bridge across it.  A thought-provoking read.
