A Small Country Living Goes on

By Jeanine McMullen

Book Overview

Back home on the farm, Gorgeous the goat suffers from postnatal depression. Doli, Jeanine's beloved draft horse, leads her stallion astray, and their foal's horoscope is cast. And Lily, Jeanine's dog, engages in a battle of wits with an overweight squirrel, while Mrs. P., Jeanine's no-nonsense, ever-so-slightly eccentric mother, keeps everyone in order--up to a point. As Jeanine struggles to keep her farm, her mother, and her radio series together, she shows us that when your feet are stuck in the mud you can still look up at the stars.

Customer Reviews

An absolute delight!

Many stories take one away from the day to day. "A Small Country Living Goes On" takes one away from everyday. The reader is unknowingly transported to a time not of fiction or fantasy but one of reality. A daily routine which many readers wish will, one day, be their own. We find charm in the mundane, whimsy in the daily flow. Back breaking yet delightful. I found myself viewing my dog within a new light. A wonderful read!
