“The Legacy of a Country Boy is absolutely one of the best of its genre. Of the many farming and homesteading memoirs I’ve read, few authors match Jimmy Fox’s knack for detail and sense of humor! Experiencing Jimmy’s life on the farm in Maryland is a special treat.”
-- MaryJo Wagner, Ph. D., Marble, CO

“Wow!! What a privilege to read! I didn’t want it to end. I’m almost speechless and crying – both a rarity for me. Your story evokes many emotions … something strong in my spirit yearns for the simpler, more honest, down-to-earth days of yesteryear. Telling your stories with such detail and seeming ease is a true gift. This is a divine Labor of Love.”
-- Christy Cliff, Freelance Editor/Proofreader, Colorado Springs, CO
 
 

“The Legacy of a Country Boy is written in a relaxed manner that brings family members to life. It can be described as funny, irreverent and serious all at once. Jimmy Fox’s farming and personal encounters are educational in nature, enveloped by his love for history. These stories are a wonderful teaching tool for children about life on the farm, and could be used in school as well as read at home. This book would be interesting to all those over eight years of age. Young and old alike will gladly experience the integrity and sincerity of these stories."
-- Dr. Helen Rose Dawson, former Vice President and Dean, Villa Julie College, Stevenson, MD

“Jimmy Fox has a gift for his honest, down-home writing. The colloquialisms can make you feel like you are living with the characters…. I felt as though I was living in those times. A heartfelt read for all!”
-- Peggy Dawson, former educator, Hohokam Elementary School, Scottsdale, AZ

The Legacy of a Country Boy impresses me with its warm down-home living experiences. It is chockfull of American culture and country living with specifics on hog butchering, raising chickens, cattle and horses, gardening, and for simply living off the land in a natural country family setting. It is so simple, yet so uncommon for this day and age that it becomes a new experience for the modern-day public. Jimmy Fox has expressed an innocent reality of life before the days of electricity and running water, creating an education for both young and old.

The Legacy of a Country Boy brings home our American heritage, our faith and how life has changed. When we embrace our past, we are then better able to walk out our present and our future. This book has the ability to foster healing in ourselves and in our relationships through simple down-to-earth Godly principles.
