Hens and Chickens: A Story about Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780963668981)

Two women downsized by corporate America during the Great Recession move to Maine to raise chickens and sell organic eggs, and discover more than they bargained for, including love! A gentle-read romance, "Hens and Chickens" is the first book in the five-volume Sovereign Series by Maine farmer and author Jennifer Wixson. The Sovereign Series is set in the mythical farming town of Sovereign, Maine (pop. 1,048) noted for goodhearted and lovable characters, who weave in and out of the five novels like old friends dropping in for a cup of tea. "Peas, Beans and Corn," the second book in the series, was released to rave reader reviews in June 2013 and the much-anticipated third book, "The Songbird of Sovereign," was published July 19, 2014. The fourth installment, "The Minister's Daughter," Jennifer's best work (according to readers) was published in the fall of 2015, and the fifth and possibly final book in the series, "Maggie's Dilemma," in October 2017. Readers have warmly embraced the series, a blend of Maine history and modern rural living, describing "Hens & Chickens" as "a modern-day Jane Austen romance" and echoing the wishes of one enthusiastic reviewer who wrote: "I want to get in my car and drive to Sovereign, Maine!" Kick your shoes off; curl up in a comfy chair; and prepare to lose yourself in the wonderful world of Sovereign, Maine!
