...loss of export sales, combined with the drop in land values, makes it harder than ever for farmers to pay off their suddenly crushing debts. Under Secretary of Agriculture Frank Naylor estimates that perhaps 40,000 farmers have debts equal to 70% or more of their shrinking assets. "They are not necessarily out of business," he says, "but they will have to do something to improve their position this year in order to be able to operate next year. It may be selling off a piece of land or a piece of machinery. Depending on how good they...
Another 160,000 or so farmers, Naylor's figures indicate, are carrying a debt load equal to between 40% and 70% of their assets and "are not in imminent danger." His explanation of why not: "If you had no improvement whatever in the farm economy, they could continue their operations for two to five years / before they would be completely wiped out." Meanwhile, those farmers are in no position to buy tractors, cars, clothes or much of anything; their troubles are dragging down the whole economy in Iowa, Nebraska, northern Missouri, southern Minnesota, western Illinois, Kansas and other parts...

In this first novel, Naylor also demonstrates a rare mastery of the Black idiom and a delicate sense of balance in her usage. Chronology, the anathema of many a more seasoned...
...Naylor's talent shows through this first work, much as one would imagine an art student's attempts to hang a master's painting. First, the frame is unsuitable; then the place on the wall seems ill-chosen. Finally, that's all fixed, but the whole is still slightly crooked, as if perhaps a more experienced eye is called for--or, in Naylor's case, another book--to get it exactly right. Nevertheless, the beauty of the work is already appreciable, and one anticipates eagerly its ultimate perfection. Patricia S. Bellinger
