Description:
New York: Marlowe & Company. New with no dust jacket. 2006. First Softcover Edition. Softcover. Catherine Friend was happy being an author and writing instructor. She always wore clean clothes. She never had anything disagreeable stuck to the bottom of her shoes. That all changed the day she agreed to help her partner Melissa embark on a rural odyssey filled with sheep, goats, chickens, llamas, and a host of other natural disasters. As it turns out, farming isn't all it's cracked up to be! This is a sort of coming-of- (middle) -age story of a woman trying to close the divide between who she wants to be and who she really is. After helping Melissa realize her dream, Catherine eventually finds a way to recapture her own in this unforgettable crash course in living off - and living with - the land. 240 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .
