Book Description
Hey, Everyone! I’m Jessie Gussman and I write love stories. I guess some people think that a writer’s life is glamorous. Especially a romance writer. This book was written to disabuse that notion. I’m kidding. That’s not the purpose of this book, although it’s a definite effect. It’s true that I’m a USA Today bestselling author, which, I have to admit, surprises me as much as anyone. My husband and I also own a trucking company. We have two twenty thousand bird free-range laying houses (our eggs are probably in your grocery store!), raise grass-fed beef cattle, homeschool our kids and are on a first-name basis with the Game Warden and the state police (mostly because of the kids and not really my husband). I frequently cook for strangers, occasionally hide from my family and own more fire extinguishers than the average person (for good reason). Sometimes, when I sit down at my computer, instead of writing the next chapter in my latest romance, I write about my life. Sometimes it’s fun. Sometimes funny. Sometimes it’s heartbreaking and sometimes you just see life through the eyes of a farmer, growing older every day and maybe just a little wiser. We do a lot of laughing, some crying and every day is a learning experience wrapped in the love of God and held in His hand. That’s what I share with you in this book. Thanks so much for spending some time with me today! Love, Jessie Reviews for The Farm on Naked Creek: ★★★★★ "Jessie is an author that can make getting bunted by a cow or helping a cow have a calf interesting and educational. She has so much faith and her kindness always shows thru. Her books and emails just put a smile on your face - she has a way to balance when things may not go the way intended but she has a positive attitude and is a Wonderful Author." - Bets ★★★★★ "Jessie has a way with words that grab you and hold you in each story so much that will have you laughing, wishing you were there to see it in person. When you start this book, be prepared to sit down, get a drink, get comfortable and be sure to have a snack because once you start you won't get up for quite a few hours and it is well worth it." - KRP ★★★★★ "I have never laughed so hard! I have always enjoyed receiving Jessie Gussman's newsletters as they pull me right in, make me feel like I am right there, and make me laugh a lot. I enjoyed this book as it is a collection of those wonderful newsletters with everything from stories about her children, God, her faith, and the farm and farm animals. I will warn you that you will be laughing a lot too. It is just impossible not to." - lori ★★★★★ "I do not review a great many non-fiction or contemporary books but Jessie Gussman is an author I admire. In this charming book, you will be invited into her home. Get yourself a cup of coffee to enjoy as this author share humor and wisdom into what life on the farm really is. Her faith shines through so brightly! I think this was a wonderful book and a big thank you to the author for sharing." - Crystal ★★★★★ "This book had me laughing out loud in parts. Jessie writes in a way that it feels like you're there. You can seriously picture what she's writing!" - Amber Books in the Stories from Jessie Gussman's newsletter series: 1. Chickens in Canaan Land 2. The Farm on Naked Creek 3. Beef Below the Blue Ridge 4. Stories from the Promised Land

New Blue Ridge Cookbook
Author: Elizabeth Wiegand
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0762763019
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
America’s legendary Blue Ridge Mountain region is known for its rich history and culture and, not least, its traditional cuisine. But much of what’s cooking there is new—including a thriving Farm to Table movement and increasingly established Slow Food communities. Such movements’ philosophies—caring about where food comes from, how it is grown, and how it is prepared—have transformed the culinary scene for newcomers and old-timers alike. The region is thus ripe for The New Blue Ridge Cookbook, which takes a fresh look at local, seasonal foods and honors efforts of sustainability, as well as the area’s rich culinary history. With some 100 recipes showcasing such traditional foods as apples, candy roasters, and ramps, the book presents new approaches by chefs, farmers, and others in the know—while also sharing amusing anecdotes and culinary traditions, as well as information about the region’s artisanal food products and local beers and wines.

Osborne Wilson's Civil War Diaries
Author: George Wilson
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1644920573
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 519
Book Description
Osborne joined the Confederate Army in the spring of 1861. He had no idea what he was getting into. Before he was captured in April 1865, he had been in numerous battles. In his diaries, he constantly complained about the miles and miles of marching through the countryside. He and his fellow soldiers seldom had enough food or supplies. He helped scour battlefields after the fighting, searching for food, weapons, ammunition, and supplies. Letter writing was an everyday ocurrence. Often his poor health required him to help guard the ammunition train or aid with the sick and wounded in various hospitals. Some of his writings about fighting, especially at Antietam and Gettysburg, make us wonder how any of the soldiers survived the war.
