Deer Hunting from a Recliner: A collection of essays reflecting on rural life in northeast Wisconsin. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781468030440)

Living in northeast Wisconsin, inspiration abounds. It can be found in building a field-stone walk, dodging February potholes, or even in spotting a recliner that has been abandoned in the middle of a hayfield. This collection of essays originally appeared as weekly articles in the Oconto County Reporter (a small newspaper published in the author's hometown). The collection offers a unique point of view on the daily details that shape our lives. From gardening, to chores and family farms-from growing older, to raising children, and dealing with the changing times-the author shares her personal experiences on various topics, all while embracing life from a positive (albeit slightly unusual) point of view. Visit the county fair and ride the Tilt-a-Whirl with the author and her son; learn where all of the cabooses have gone, and discover what brown paper sacks and rainy days have in common; dare to consider life's ultimate question-'Can pumpkin pies get car sick?' From parenting, to doing dishes, to commuting to work-the enclosed stories will make you smile and inspire you as only 'Deer Hunting from a Recliner' can. As an added bonus, a portion of the proceeds of every book sold will go to help provide food and shelter for the animals awaiting their 'forever homes' at the Oconto Area Humane Society and Animal Shelter, Inc. So, not only will the essays make you smile, you can also feel good that your purchase is supporting a worthwhile cause!
