Amazingly, the answer was hanging on their living room wall: A painting depicting a rural homestead in a blaze of fall colors. Painted by Kathy years before the couple ever met, the picture inspired them to buy a piece of land, leave their jobs, move north, and pursue their common dream of a life close to the land. This book chronicles their search for a place in the country and their many, often humorous, adventures in building a homestead. Prospective homesteaders will find not only an engaging story about this couple, but also valuable insights on how to build a homestead, move toward greater self-reliance, and achieve simple, debt-free living. In the end, this is a story about how this empty-nest couple, vaguely dissatisfied with their safe, comfortable lives, broke away, took some risks, and realized what Kathy's painting had been telling them all along for so many years: The land will help you discover your true selves; let go and live!\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1934937029\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1934937029.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Turgeon, Bill\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
