Sarah Neidhardt’s childhood sounds like something from a Laura Ingalls Wilder book. Her parents moved to the Ozarks in the 1970s as part of the back-to-the-land movement. The bohemian counterculture meets pioneer homemaking story sounds romantic, but Sarah’s memoir Twenty Acres paints a sober and compassionate telling of her unconventional life.
