Bean Blossom Dreams, With a New Afterword – A City Family`s Search for a Simple Country Life de Sallyann J. Murphey

Bean Blossom Dreams, With a New Afterword – A City Family`s Search for a Simple Country Life

Autor Sallyann J. Murphey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mar 2008
Sallyann J. Murphey and her husband did what a lot of us have dreamt of but never quite built up the courage to do. In 1990, Murphey, who was a successful BBC producer, and her husband, Greg, a commercial photographer, left their high stress, hectic life in Chicago and moved to a dilapidated 40-plus-acre farm in Brown County, Indiana, hoping to raise their daughter in a more natural and less stressful environment. In Bean Blossom Dreams, Murphey warmly and humorously details life on the family's farm. Though Brown County might not offer the idyllic country life they were expecting, Sallyann and Greg have realized through trial and error, laughter and tears, that they made the right decision to relocate. A delightful fish-out-of-water story
