About the Author
Jaclyn Moyer is a writer and historian whose work delves into the intricate tapestry of family legacies, agricultural traditions, and cultural migrations. Drawing from her own roots in California's Central Valley, she explores the profound connections between land, labor, and identity in her debut book, On Gold Hill: A Personal History of Wheat, Farming, and Family, from Punjab to California. Moyer's narrative weaves personal anecdotes with historical research, illuminating the journeys of Punjabi immigrants who transformed the American wheat fields while preserving their heritage. With a background in anthropology and a passion for oral histories, she brings a fresh, empathetic voice to stories of resilience and adaptation in the face of change. Her writing invites readers to reflect on how the soil of our past shapes the harvests of our present.
