Molasses Making Time is a heart-warming coming of age novel for middle grade to young adult readers. In the 1930's on his family's farm in Yancy County, NC., times were hard, but eleven-year-old Aaron Gilbert Fowler was happy. His close relationship with his beloved pa made up for the criticism from his stern ma. Aaron enjoyed fishing and coon hunting with his pa, and corn shucking parties. But his favorite time of all was molasses making--until the accident that tore his life apart.
