Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. #biglibraryread ( ) Choosing the audiobook over the printed edition was the way to go on this one. It's an easy listen. I chose to read it because it was part of my library's "Big Listen." The author seemed to be trying to explore the ideas of security and life choices and finding acceptance with a different lifestyle than she had planned. The writing was okay. I was, however, incredibly frustrated reading the story of this woman who had taken no responsibility to understand her financial situation and just moved through her life letting others make decisions and handle things for her. Maybe it could be read as a cautionary tale for young women? inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Jennifer McGaha never expected to own a goat named Merle. Or to be setting Merle up on dates and naming his doeling Merlene. She didn't expect to be buying organic yogurt for her chickens. She never thought she would be pulling camouflage carpet off her ceiling or rescuing opossums from her barn and calling it "date night." Most importantly, Jennifer never thought she would only have $4.57 in her bank account. When Jennifer discovered that she and her husband owed back taxes-a lot of back taxes-her world changed. Now desperate to save money, they foreclosed on their beloved suburban home and moved their family to a one-hundred-year-old cabin in a North Carolina holler. Soon enough, Jennifer's life began to more closely resemble the lives of her Appalachian ancestors than the life she experienced in her middle class upbringing. But what started as a last-ditch effort to settle debts became a journey that revealed both the joys and challenges of living close to the land. Told with bold wit, unflinching honesty, and a firm foot in the traditions of Appalachia, Flat Broke with Two Goats blends stories of homesteading with the journey of two people rediscovering the true meaning of home.
