Susan Colleen Browne is the author of a memoir,
Little Farm in the Foothills: A Boomer Couple's Search for
the Slow Life (Whitethorn Press, 2009).
In
this wise, yet lighthearted story for gardeners, nature-lovers,
and dreamers of all ages, follow a midlife couple's true-life
pursuit of the "new" Great American Dream as they transform
an old clearcut into a little homestead. Here's an excerpt.
"A
delightful account" ...The Bellingham Herald.
Here's the full review, "Memoir
shows how simple life is hard work."
Here's
an interview with Susan about Little Farm in the Foothills
and establishing your own "starter
homestead,"
also in The Bellingham Herald.
"I
loved your book. It tells volumes about finding and building
a new lifestyle and reminds me a little of A
Year in Provence."
...Kenneth A.
Morrow, author of A Boyhood in Nelson.
