Ada and Ruby are picking apples to make apple butter, apple cider, and the like. After making cider, Ruby takes a jug of it into town to try and trade for beef. She leaves Ada with the job of splitting an oak log in the field, and then burning a brush pile from a neglected field. After burning the brush, Ada sat in a chair to enjoy the fire. She heard a rustling in the woods and found it to be Ruby's father, Strobod, and his friend. They came to hang out and play their instruments. Shortly after their arrival, Ruby shows up with barely four pounds of beef. She accompanies the fire and listens with Ada to the playing of the banjo and fiddle. Then, Strobod asks for help in regards to a personal place to stay. Ruby said no, but Ada sent Strobod and his friend back into their "house" in the mountain with some hope.
I am liking this book. I think it is interesting and I would recommend this book to people.
