I just picked this up at the library and I'm already loving it! It reminds me of an updated "Egg and I" - two would-be farmers starting out. The blurb on the back of the book reads "Hit by a Farm is a coming of (middle) age story of a woman trying to close the divide between who she wants to be and who she really is." Boy, that sounds like me!

Ooooh, sounds like a good book. I am overloaded in books right now - you should see the pile in my bedroom. Right next to the bed, this giant pile. Most are from the library, but sheesh... I need more time in my day.

I read "Hit by a Farm" last winter and loved it.
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. |

Kimberly:
I absolutely loved "The Egg and I". I have read that book four times. It just makes me smile, laugh, etc... All of Betty MacDonald's books have a place in my library. When I don't have anything new or good to read, I pick up one of her books, and re-read. This new one "Hit by a Farm", have you started reading it? Let me know if it is good. Is this a new book, or an old book? Thanks for the information.

I've read Hit by a Farm and nearly wet my pants at some parts...too funny. I've also read The Compassionate Carnivore by her too...very interesting. Catherine also has a blog--Farm Tales--at www.catherinefriend.com
I've met both her and Melissa...great ladies. I think I need to go back a re-read that book...I could use a good laugh. |

I'm going to check it out too! It sounds like a great book. I hope my Windy Pines cousins, Michele, sees this and orders it up by her farm.
