Of all the people documented by the Foxfire students since 1966, none
has been more appealing to readers than Arie Carpenter. For all those
who have read and cherished the Foxfire books, here is a loving
portrait of a fondly remembered friend. This book is not just about Aunt
Arie; it is Aunt Arie. In her own words, she discusses everything from
planting, harvesting, and cooking to her thoughts about religion and her
feelings about living alone. Also included are testimonials from many
who knew her and a wealth of photographs.
