description: In THE BIRDHOUSE CHRONICLES, internationally best-selling author Cathleen Miller offers a funny and wise account of how she and her husband, Kerby, abandoned their San Francisco advertising careers to make a radical new life for themselves in a one-hundred-year-old Pennsylvania farmhouse located in the middle of an Amish corn patch. Part memoir, part nature writing, and part old-house-restoration journal, this wonderfully intimate narrative brings home all the humor, exhilaration, and disappointment of pursuing a realer, "simpler" life. In her sassy, self-deprecating style, Cathleen Miller puts a fresh, authentic spin on the classic country memoir, and surprises us with many unique twists.
