Customer Reviews

A fun book from a great writer

How could a book by a Georgia boy who played football for the Saints, owned a dairy farm, and then became a magazine editor in Vermont be dull? Fersen writes with a strong wit, a sensitive touch, and an outdoorsman's realism. This is a witty and thoughtful book that makes you laugh out loud, and also gives an outsider's insight on what it's really like to move to the mountains of Vermont and live there and raise your family, not just to visit it for a weekend.
