Newly republished with a folio of historic photographs and an epilogue that updates the story of the farm and the family to the present, A Family Place addresses the tensions between memory and recorded fact, inviting readers to take a new look at their own sense of home.
"Philip grafts history, natural history, and autobiography into a stunning performance." -- Maureen Howard, author of Big as Life
"Mesmerizing ... Both narrative threads are profoundly personal. Braided together with insight, they pay homage to the ideals of home and family with a resonance that should extend beyond her home region." -- Publishers Weekly
" ... an unpretentious, subtly shaded story of the importance of understanding the ghosts and heroes that reside in every ancestral home." -- New York Times
"An exquisite rendering of a Hudson Valley family farm, as detailed and colored as a Persian miniature. Philip's family history is alarmingly transporting, and her sense of place so rich you can taste it." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Riveting ... one of the most finely written family histories available." -- Library Journal
