Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Abstract

As in his other books, and poetry, Berry writes about ordinary people, community and the land. In Jayber Crow, readers follow the life journey of a "wouldbe" preacher who becomes the town barber in a small rural community of the south. Berry's genius is in the way that he draws the reader into the story. His development of characters is such that readers will quickly relate with them, and once hooked, will continue to read to see what happens. The book truly is one that you will not want to put down. It is a love story between and about people and their connections to the land. It will keep you guessing until the very end - something you probably will not want to happen.
