In "We Have All Gone Away," his emotionally moving memoir, Curtis Harnack tells of growing up during the Great Depression on an Iowa farm among six siblings and an extended family of relatives. With a directness and a beauty that recall Thoreau, Harnack balances a child's impressions with the knowledge of an adult looking back to produce what "Publishers Weekly" called "a country plum of a book, written with genuine affection and vivid recall."
