Be sure to look for Jeanne Marie Laskas s new book in spring
2003 wherever Bantam Books are sold — Review
Jeanne Marie Laskas had a dream of fleeing her otherwise happy
urban life for fresh air and open space — a dream she would
discover was about something more than that. But she never expected
her fantasy to come true — until a summer afternoon’s drive in the
country.
That’s when she and her boyfriend, Alex — owner of Marley the
poodle — stumble upon the place she thought existed only in her
dreams. This pretty-as-a-picture-postcard farm with an Amish barn,
a chestnut grove, and breathtaking vistas is real … and for sale.
And it’s where she knows her future begins.
But buying a postcard — fifty acres of scenery — and living on
it are two entirely different matters. With wit and wisdom, Laskas
chronicles the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories of the
colorful two- and four-legged creatures she encounters on
Sweetwater Farm.
Against a backdrop of brambles, a satellite dish, and sheep,
she tells a tender, touching, and hilarious tale about life, love,
and the unexpected complications of having your dream come
true.
