Jerry Apps, the Wisconsin author and historian, shares his wit, wisdom and stories of family, neighbors and communities that worked together to survive the long winter that enveloped his boyhood farm home in Wild Rose. It was a season that could be harrowing and dangerous, but it was also a time of year that drew families close together and created warm memories that are both lasting and universal.
