HarperOne, Ekim 2013. World English

 Batı Virginia'nın kırsal bir kasabasına çocuklarımla beraber yaşamak için yerleştiğimizde soğuk bir geç sonbahar günüydü. Çiftlik evi yüz yaşındaydı, yerler karla kaplıydı ve evin ısı yalıtımı berbattı- zeminden bile, soğuğu hemen kapıyordunuz. O zamanlar on iki yaşında olan  oğlum kapıya doğru yürüdü ve dedi ki, 'Bu derme çatma küçücük eve biz ölelim diye getirdin.'

Böylece  eski aşk romanları yazarı Suzanne McMinn'in Batı Virginia'daki en berbat yollarından birinde başlayan vahşi yolculuğu, çocukları, gizemli ortağı ve kırsal mahalledeki ilginç komşuları ve bir çiftlik hayvanlarıyla kendi kendine sürdürebilir ilginç  bir yaşam biçimine dönüşür.

McMinn] found her road to self-realization much rockier than she imagined, but ultimately very satisfying…in her heart-on-her-sleeve, nutty narrative, she had to face the necessity for her own self-sufficiency…In this enjoyable memoir, she learned by trial and error how to do everything from scratch.” – Publishers Weekly
