Hit by a Farm : How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Barn
reviewed on + 279 more book reviews


Great story of how two city gals bought a large piece of land and started a farm. The author hopes to keep her writing career but her life is interrupted by farm duties. Wonderful descriptions of animals they acquire and how they learn to take care of them. Undercurrent of their relationship is always running on high, with quarrels and stress. Finally some therapy works and compromises are made. My description sounds dull but I assure you there were many laughs, and a few tears, throughout this book. I'm just sorry I read Sheepish first as now I realize it was third in sequence. Am sure I'll enjoy Compassionate Carnivore as well. Easy-to-read writing style.
