Description
"Humorous . . . This true-life tale charts a big-city girl's transformation to farm gal."-People
"Jeanne Marie Laskas is the thinking woman's Erma Bombeck . . . [with] a talent for finding wisdom in daily life. . . . Even the most entrenched urbanite will be charmed by this book."-Time
Jeanne Marie Laskas had a dream of fleeing her otherwise happy urban life for fresh air and open space-a dream she would discover was about something more than that. But she never expected her fantasy to come true until a summer afternoon's drive in the country.
That's when she and her boyfriend, Alex-owner of Marley the poodle-stumble upon the place she thought existed only in her dreams. This pretty-as-a-picture-postcard farm with an Amish barn, a chestnut grove, and breathtaking vistas is real . . . and for sale. And it's where she knows her future begins.
But buying a postcard-fiftyacresof scenery-and living on it are two entirely different matters.The questions seem endless: How long before the barn roof collapses? Should they buy sheep? Will the place be good for her writing, and for her relationship with Alex?
With wit and wisdom, Laskas shares everything she learned about life, love, and the unexpected complications of having your dream come true.
