Review posted on biglibraryread.com for the #biglibraryread in April 2018:
I enjoyed this memoir and admire the author for her honesty. I raised an eyebrow at many of the decisions she and her husband made and often found myself talking back to the audiobook at certain points. (“Oh no, how could you think that was a good idea?”) Ultimately, I felt the author avoided much of the temptation to pass the blame for their circumstances, though at times it definitely felt like she washed her hands of it. My opinion of the author changed throughout the book because initially I did not like her. In the end, I decided to cease judging and start simply listening. I grew attached to their small farm menagerie and was truly saddened by the health issues faced by one of their bucks. Unlike other reviewers, I occasionally thought the parts about her ancestors felt out of place, particularly at the very end. I'd recommend this to people who enjoy memoirs as it's one of the best I've read.
Also, the audiobook narrator is awesome
