Yet Wood (Grant) intended it to be a positive statement about rural American values, an image of reassurance at a time of great dislocation and disillusionment. The man and woman, in their solid and well-crafted world, with all their strengths and weaknesses, represent survivors. He used his sister and his dentist as models for a farmer and his daughter.”
