Description

Among Kentucky hemp fields, young David wrestles scientific ambition against the faith of farming families whose prosperity and tradition are changing with the crop. Progress and conviction collide in a usable listening tale of mind, belief, and work. Spoken as when the reign of law still asks what a young mind owes when the fields demand the old creed.
