This is a story about a place and its people, located in Sudbury, Massachusetts. The place was, for many decades, simply called 'the farm' by its series of owners, which included the Hayneses, a well-known name in town and a family who had settled in Sudbury in the 1600s (but were not directly related to the subject of this book). In the 1920s, Finnish settlers worked this land, and it was their name on the title of the land that Honora Haynes-the focus of this story-purchased: a 70-acre parcel of fields, barns, and a farmer's cottage. From our vantage today, Honora exemplifies the scholar-entrepreneur. She was also an incredibly strong woman and a model of the good teacher (leading by supporting), good neighbor (honest, fair, giving), and good friend. Her half-century of success is encapsulated in a half-century of friendship that continues in all of us who knew her.
