Poignant, irreverent, and hilarious: a memoir about success and self-discovery, by an indomitable woman who never manages to lose sight of what matters most. It's the summer of 2005, and Mardi Jo Link's imagine living the easy life has unraveled into arrears, heartbreak, and perpetually ragged cuticles. She and her partner of nineteen years have just called it quits, departing her with serious cash-flow problems and a looming divorce. More broke than ever before, Link makes a apparently impossible quality: to hang to her century-old farmhouse in north Michigan and continue steadily to increase her three guys on well water and hardwood chopping and mud. Equipped with an unfailing sense of humor and three resolute accomplices, Link confronts blizzards and foxes, discovers about Zen divorce and the best way to butcher a hog, dominates a zucchini-growing contest and wins a year's way to obtain local bread, masters the skill of bargain cooking, wrangles rampaging chicken, and withstands any blow to her pleasure in order to preserve the life span she wants. With an infectious optimism that could put Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm to shame and a profound gratitude of the natural world, Link tells the storyline of how, over the course of one long yr, she holds to her sons, will save you the plantation from foreclosure, and discovers her in the past to a life of richness and meaning on the land she loves.
