Synopsis

In Letters from Wingfield’s Farm, Dan Needles told the story of former executive Walt Wingfield, who chronicles the ups and downs of his first three seasons struggling to make ends meet on a farm in Persephone Township, a small community populated by eccentric philosophers, wily survivors, rascals, cranks, and modest heroes. Now, Wingfield’s Hope finds Walt in his fourth season as he faces an uncertain future. The voices of the old rural community are slipping away. Can they be preserved or will they be lost forever?
