It inspired me to be grateful that I don’t live in earlier times when life was harder. The book made me aware of the things that families and generations before me had to go through. If you have not read this book I think that you should read it now and in its entirety to get the full effect. The Glory Field is a fantastic book that tells the story of the Lewis family from1753 to 1994, that is 241 years in one book. There are no excuses this book needs to be read and I just don’t know how else to say it.
