Summary:
Jennifer McGaha never expected to own a goat named Merle. Or to be setting Merle up on dates and naming his doeling Merlene. She didn't expect to be buying organic yogurt for her chickens. She never thought she would be pulling camouflage carpet off her ceiling or rescuing opossums from her barn. Most importantly, Jennifer never thought she would only have $4.57 in her bank account. When Jennifer discovered that she and her husband owed back taxes - a lot of back taxes - her world changed. Desperate to save money, they foreclosed on their beloved suburban home and moved their family to a one-hundred-year-old cabin in a North Carolina holler. Soon enough, Jennifer's
life
began to more closely resemble her
Appalachian
ancestors than her upper-middle-class upbringing. What started as a last-ditch effort to settle debts became a journey that revealed both the joys and challenges of living close to the land. Blends stories of homesteading with the journey of two people rediscovering the true meaning of home. A native of Appalachia, Jennifer McGaha lives with her husband and a menagerie of dogs, goats, chickens, and cats in the North Carolina mountains.
