“Purchased this book on a whim…. So glad that I did. What I thought would be a simple book about the kinds of structures I’ve grown up around my whole life turned out to be so much more! I quickly felt the passion the author was trying to communicate through the beautiful photographs. The stories are heartwarming and I found myself lost in a number of the photos… The book transformed me back to a time when I was growing up. Sitting on the rafters watching my dad work, playing in the hay lofts and even first kisses in the corn bins… Heartwarming, passionate, and a great book for anyone looking for an enjoyable journey…. This has changed the way that I see the “beauty of barns” and brought back so many memories I’d once forgotten!!!!”
