Product Description:
When the birth of their eleven tiny infants brings celebrity to the Franks of Three Chimneys, Virginia, a presidential hopeful pays them a visit. In his honor, Margaret Prickett sets out to re-create the Mammoth Cheese, a 1,235-pound wheel of Cheshire made by Thomas Jefferson's supporters.
Here is a deliciously incisive portrait of rural life, the debts we owe history and our families, and the many ways we declare independence.
