Farm House Chronicles Series
Nonfiction Novel
“The Farmhouse Chronicles: Volume 1” from Page Publishing author Dean Pearson is an engaging memoir of his eventful childhood in a family of fourteen growing up on a forty-acre farm on the outskirts of Wichita, Kansas in the sixties
Very interesting stories of growing up in a large family on a farm.
This book is teaching me so much on the magic of farming; especially growing up as a Black farmer. The book needs to be part of school curriculum. The lessons may encourage a new career path.
My dad and mom enjoyed reading this book. My dad has fond memories of visiting the farm and met the author’s dad and went fishing there all the time. He remember when they were excavating for the pond. He and my mom were endeared by the stories that reminded them of their own childhood on the farm. The stories were funny and said it brought back fond memories. Wonderful book!!
Author
Dean Paul Pearson
“Dean Paul Pearson was born in 1964 and is a native of Wichita, Kansas. Born number ten of twelve children, eight boys and four girls, he developed a passion for reading and the great outdoors as a means of escape from a crowded farmhouse. Also, being raised on a forty-acre farm on the outskirts of the city allowed Dean, his siblings, cousins, and friends to enjoy acres upon acres of land in which to explore and share in many adventures together.
While co-teaching a high school reading class, he began telling his students about his childhood adventures before reading exams. The students enjoyed the stories, which seemed to relieve some of their test anxiety.
Naturally, the students began to request a story before each exam. The enjoyment the students received from the stories inspired Dean to write them down…and thus we have volume one of “The Farmhouse Chronicles”.
