When Eleanor Agnew, her husband, and two young children moved to the Maine woods in 1975, the back-to-the-land movement had already attracted untold numbers of converts who had grown increasingly estranged from mainstream American society. This is their story, in all its glories and agonies, its triumphs and disasters (many of them richly amusing), told by a woman who experienced the simple life firsthand but has also read widely and interviewed scores of people who went back to the land. Ms. Agnew tells how they found joy and camaraderie, studied their issues of Mother Earth News, coped with frozen laundry and grinding poverty, and persevered or gave up.

Quotations:
"As a college professor, I have burned up several computers and more than a few summers writing scholarly articles which never will see the light of day outside the university community. Academic writing requires months or years of time and research and, of course, the pay is purely psychic. But I have enjoyed doing it because I have always written about educational issues that stir genuine passion in me."
"My Mama's Waltz was my first venture into nonacademic writing since I left the Real World in 1979 to go to graduate school. I loved every minute of it! Just as with my academic writing, the topic (daughters of alcoholic mothers) was so meaningful to me that I happily burned up the keyboard from sunrise till bedtime every day for a whole summer. On the other hand, the experience was refreshingly different from my academic writing. For one thing, much of the research for My Mama's Waltz came directly from people rather than from library stacks. In addition, I was able to use a more informal and warm authorial voice. Throughout, I was also able to express my feelings more. I have received friendly, appreciative letters from readers who come from a wide variety of backgrounds and occupations. Although I like to think that my academic writings have made modest contributions to the body of knowledge within the discipline, nobody has written to me yet about my doctoral dissertation!"
