Written nearly 60 years ago, this is the remarkable story of a young woman who turned her home into a farm 'to do her bit' for the war effort. A unique insight into the dramtic changes of one woman's life during wartime, The Grass Widow's Cow is written with humor, optimism, and plenty of practical advice.
