Chickens in the Road |
I met Suzanne McMinn at one conference or another. I can't remember which, but I do remember chatting with her. We talked online as well. Over the years I lost touch with her. I read a lot of memoirs, and I will confess I find books like A Dirty Life and The Feast Nearby wonderful. Strong women finding where they belong. Sometimes finding where they belong for right-now and having that lead them to where they belong in the future. So when Amazon suggested Chickens in the Road and I saw Suzanne's name, I had to pick it up. The book felt like I'd bumped into her at a conference and we were chatting again. I loved that her adventure took to the mountains. I talked not long ago about my family's history there. (This is Me Part Two) You can join Suzanne's adventures on her farm both in the book and on her blog, aptly named, Chickens in the Road as well.
I'll confess, my love of the country life started with The Gift of the Deer years back. Mom had a copy in her Readers Digest and I adored it.

Home. Family. Those are themes I write about again and again. They're themes that never grow stale and never get old because they're universal. Everyone spends their lifetime looking for where they belong. Lucky people find it!

PS To My Kids: reading this book is not a suggestion that I collect chickens...I don't.
