Publisher's Note
A laugh-out-loud memoir about a city slicker who discovers that Manolos and manure just donÂ't mix.

At her husbandÂ's prompting, suburban mom and New York career woman Susan McCorkindale agreed to give up her stressful six-figure job. Together, they headed down south to a 500-acre beef farm, and never looked back. Well, he didnÂ't look back. She did. A lot.

From playing Â?spot the religious billboardÂ? on the drive to rural Virginia, to adapting to a world without Starbucks, to planning bright-orange hunter-resistant wardrobes for the kids (Â?We moved here to get away from the madness of Manhattan only to risk getting popped on our own propertyÂ?), this is her hilarious account of how a city girl came to loveÂ?or at least tolerateÂ?country life.

In a hilarious memoir, a one-time New York career woman and mother describes her family's move from the suburbs to a five-hundred-head beef farm in the South, whimsically chronicling the struggle of a city girl to love--or at least tolerate--country life while dealing with the culture shock of a world without Starbucks. Original.
