"The wheel of earth" by Helga Sandburg is a novel written in the mid-20th century. Set on a hardscrabble Kentucky farm, it follows sixteen-year-old Ellen Gaddy as she comes of age amid the cycles of work, nature, faith, and desire, caught between a stern father, a withdrawn mother, a favored younger sister, and the disruptive pull of a charming outsider, Christian Ay.
