Our beloved poet and writer, Ruth Weinstein, has published her memoir, "Back to the Land: Alliance Colony to the Ozarks in Four Generations" as a descendant of original settlers of the Alliance Colony in Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, New Jersey. It was the first successful Jewish farming community in America. Ruth tells the story of her forbears, her time in Alliance and Norma as a child and teenager,  and her life as a long-time member of the back-to-the-land movement in the Ozarks of Arkansas.
