Pleasant family drama set in early 1900's or late 1890's upstate New York.  The Herron clan, led by heroic, inventive, handicapped older brother Billy, has fallen on hard times due to one of the depressions that occurred before the Great one of the 30's.  He manages to charm their way out of the tenements and into the country where he and his younger siblings farm their way to success, albeit on a small, Waltons-esque scale.  Features many detailed gardening tips.  Minor quibble with a sub-plot
