Description Ken Taylor knows his Otago farmland intimately, every stream and gully, every smell, every mood. He's farmed it for forty years, coaxed a living out of it and raised a family. Now widowed, Ken is ailing. His children think it's time for a new kind of home. On an ice-bound weekend in July, they gather to move Ken off the land This is a story about home.
