Description
When Y2K looms and modern life fails to satisfy, Franklin Sanders and wife Susan go from nuclear family to multigenerational farm. Despite Susan's admonition that they acquire nothing that eats, the gain dogs, chickens, horses, cows, pigs, ducks, and sheep. Their children move back in and bring their spouses, filling Dogwod Mudhole with grandchildren. It's no Green Acres, but through sheer persistence and good humor, they learn to farm. At Home in Dogwood Mudhole: Nothing That Eats, a three-volume collection of letters, provides a running account of an attempt to live an authentic life, as Franklin writes every month for seventeen years a personal letter to his The Moneychanger newsletter readers.
