A Year on the Family Farm

And the Life Lessons Learned

By: Mary Kay Schippers

Grammy, tell me another story about when you were a kid," asked author Mary Kay Schippers' grandchild, Aleah. It wasn't the first time. In fact, Mary Kay heard the request so many times, she decided to write down her most cherished childhood memories. It's 1965 and eight-year-old Mary Kay is growing up fast and free on her family's farm in the heart of the Kansas prairie. With a hard-working, no-nonsense Daddy, a kind, loving Mama, and six big brothers and sisters who never let her forget she's the baby, it's a bustling and busy world for Mary Kay. Between the barn and the fields, she finds friendship with Strawberry, the wild foal, Ginger, the curiously-named black dog, and Cinnamon, the calf who becomes her pet. A book to delight the young and old, A Year on the Family Farm is enriched with lessons learned from fresh air, friends, and family.

The Return To The Family Farm

Still Learning Life Lessons

By: Mary Kay Schippers

After her marriage in 1976, Mary Kay Schippers left the family farm to move to the city, embark on a career and raise a family with her high school sweetheart. In 1995, after her aging parents moved to town and decided to sell some land that had been owned and farmed by their family for over a century, Mary Kay and her husband stepped in and bought the land. As the fourth generation to own that land, she was determined to preserve the legacy for her sons and future generations. But it wasn’t until 2008 that Mary Kay felt an unmistakeable urge to return to her farming roots on a full-time basis. The Return to the Family Farm explores the many ups and downs of leaving the city behind and returning to one’s rural roots. It continues the family and farm history found in A Year on the Family Farm and Another Year on the Family Farm. With its lilting storytelling style and abundant humor, The Return to the Family Farm is sure to warm the hearts of young and old alike.

Another Year On The Family Farm

With More Life Lessons Learned

By: Mary Kay Schippers

It's 1970, mere months after the first man walked on the moon. The Vietnam War is raging on, drawing thousands of young American men into compulsory military service. Campus riots become commonplace, while Bridge Over Troubled Water tops the music charts. And millions of families across the nation gather around their television sets on Sunday evenings to watch what is to be the final season of the Ed Sullivan Show. For thirteen-year-old Mary Kay, life changes irrevocably when the last of her brothers and sisters marries and moves away from their Kansas family farm. As the youngest of seven, she has always been surrounded by people and noise and activity. The sudden loneliness hits hard as Mary Kay tries to adapt to her new reality. At home, her dogs Sandy and Sport and her horse Strawberry become her sole companions, as she helps her loving Mama and hard-working Daddy carry on with their never-ending farm chores. At school, Mary Kay graduates from the comforting country grade school where her oldest brother had been her teacher and now faces the challenge of high school in another town with no friends. Inspired by the discovery of an old diary, Another Year on the Family Farm continues the saga of author Mary Kay Schippers' childhood first described in A Year on the Family Farm. Like its predecessor, Another Year on the Family Farm is full of love, life, and laughter. Whether it's hanging on to a runaway horse, seeking refuge from a storm, learning to drive or falling in love, Mary Kay's coming of age stories will carry you off to a world of enjoyment for young and old alike....
