SummaryA laugh-out-loud memoir about a city slicker who
discovers that Manolos and manure just don't mix.
At her husband's prompting, suburban mom and New York career
woman Susan McCorkindale agreed to give up her stressful
six-figure job. Together, they headed down south to a
500-acre beef farm, and never looked back. Well, he didn't
look back. She did. A lot.
From playing "spot the religious billboard" on the drive to
rural Virginia, to adapting to a world without Starbucks, to
planning bright-orange hunter-resistant wardrobes for the
kids ("We moved here to get away from the madness of
Manhattan only to risk getting popped on our own property"),
this is her hilarious account of how a city girl came to
love—or at least tolerate—country life.
