Woginrich's dedication to rural life is inspiring. Her week-to-week recollection of a year on her "one woman farm" shows all the joy she gains from her hard manual labor. But she also maintains a healthy realism and reminds the reader that farm life isn't for everyone.One Woman Farm: My Life Shared with Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Goats, and a Fine Fiddletakes us from October to October, a full calendar of baby animals, frozen land, crop harvests, and solo holidays. The occasional handwritten recipe and inspirational quote make the book feel almost like a personalized guide to homesteading.”(Nautilus Book Awards - Books for a Better World)"A book of mindfulness, philosophy, music, musing, poetry, and the re-emergence of the most ancient of religions ... this fine little book is rich in loving immersion in a way of life, of neighborliness, [and] in longing ... Even those tasks for which she has had to hire or barter for help are enriching for her. And for her readers, to which fortunate band I urge you to add yourself."
