The Old Barn: A Family Memoir and Move
A Kansas City mother sells the 10 room white house she has lived in for 34 years. The home housed five children who returned often, and the family shared memories of a feud with the house. She finally sells it, moves toward a newer home, while the narrator recalls past days, a rattlesnake encounter, and affection for the old barn. The household storyline ends with the belief that the family still loves the old place despite moving on.
