The narrative paints a vivid picture of rural life in central Wisconsin during the Depression and World War II, highlighting the challenges of farm life before electricity. Jerry Apps shares memories of hand-milking cows by kerosene lantern light and the communal effort of wood gathering for heat. The story reflects on the importance of winter as a period for family bonding and contemplation, suggesting that harsh winters shape the character and values of those who endure them, often in subtle, unrecognized ways.
