Book Description
This book is guaranteed: if you don't laugh out loud or find it a delight, return it and your money will be cheerfully refunded. Cowan's unique, strong voice let's you see, like a live performance, the adventures and challenges she and her husband face as they leave behind careers, cities, and pavement to create new lives. Her conversational style will remind you of letters from a favorite cousin as she weaves profound insights into whacky situations. Open descriptions of the hard confrontations and choices in her marriage, life, and cultural changes are right next to recipes for custard pie and potato soup. Wine enthusiasts, exhausted professionals dreaming of escape, sailors, artists, couples determined to stay married, gardeners, pet lovers, and everyone who enjoys true adventure gone awry will relate to this exceptionally personal journal. Charmed, they may find themselves comparing Cowan's work to Erma Bombeck, Garrison Keiler, or Anne Lamott. Lee Cowan lives deep in the woods of the Arkansas Ozark Mountains with her husband, two dogs, and a cat. These Beings, physical health, a blessed multitude of The World's Best Friends, offspring, and plenty of money render her life bearable. She's been lost and confused much of it. Wandering around the United States and the world in her quest for belonging and meaning, she kept returning to Arkansas. Her internal journey and willingness to take on the unknown led to a variety of experiences with spirituality, relationships, and vocations. Over time, she became a psychotherapist, making a decent living and occasionally helping someone. At 61, she's still in transition. This is Lee's first book, and she hopes you in-joy every bite of it. If you do, you can order more, and see her visual art, at www.StoneCountyArt.com.
