Download Flat Broke with Two Goats: A Memoir AudioBook Free
Jennifer McGaha never likely to own a goat named Merle. Or even to be setting up Merle up on dates and naming his doeling Merlene. She didn't expect to be buying organic yogurt for her birds. She never thought she would be tugging camouflage carpet off her ceiling or rescuing opossums from her barn and calling it "date nights." Most of all, Jennifer never thought she would have only $4.57 in her bank account. When Jennifer discovered that she and her husband owed back fees - a great deal of back fees - her world altered. Now desperate to save lots of money, they foreclosed on their much loved suburban home and changed their family to a 100-year-old cabin in a NEW YORK holler. Quickly enough, Jennifer's life commenced to more directly resemble the lives of her Appalachian ancestors than the life span she experienced in her middle income upbringing. But what began as a last-ditch work to settle bills became a quest that revealed both joys and problems of living near to the land. Told with vibrant wit, unflinching integrity, and a company foot in the traditions of Appalachia, Flat Broke with Two Goats blends stories of homesteading with the journey of two different people rediscovering the real meaning of home.
