Hello everyone! I just finished reading a wonderful book and wanted to pass on the title so you could all enjoy it. Author is Catherine Friend and title is Hit By a Farm. I absolutely loved it. Go to the website: www.hitbyafarm.com. It is about two women who start a farm and all their subsequent adventures. It is very well written and I so enjoyed recalling all the crises and thrilling moments that occur daily as part of farm life. Not only that, it is hilarious! Hope you like it! |

Oh how cool that you have already been emailing with the author, Beth! I just picked up my copy from the Library this weekend and have vowed to start reading it tonight (after the Urban Farmgirls gathering!). I love the sheep on the cover. Can't wait to dive in!

Just got this from Catherine and hope she won't mind my sharing-
Beth,
Thanks for the link to the Farmgirl Connection---cool discussion group. I had no idea it existed!
If you're interested in children's books, I have a new one out that was inspired partly by the farm. It's called The Perfect Nest, and you can read more about it at www.catherinefriend.com .
Hope you enjoy Hit By a Farm!
Catherine
So maybe even a cool new farmgirl huh?????!!!!! Gonna delve into this great read this weekend.
