{"product_id":"they-did-something-crazy-jeremy-leach-9798298789776","title":"They Did Something Crazy: My Parents and Their Leap from London to Rural Dorset While the Sixties Swung","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when two ordinary people decide to do something extraordinary?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1960s, a London couple in their forties walked away from steady jobs, a comfortable city home, and the familiar rhythms of urban life. With no grand plan-only instinct and courage-they bought a derelict Dorset cottage and began again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is not just about a house, or even a move from one place to another. It is about a quiet revolution: a life built from scratch, with imagination and hard work, where vision met craftsmanship, and possibility became reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough memory, reflection, and fragments of family history, \u003ci\u003eThey Did Something Crazy\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of two people who dared to live differently. It is a tribute to courage taken without fanfare, to dreams made real, and to the mysteries that remain when those who lived them are gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its heart, it asks timeless questions: \u003cbr\u003eWhat does it mean to begin again? What makes a life meaningful? And how do we hold on to the stories that shaped us before they fade?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving, personal, and deeply human, this is more than a family memoir-it is an invitation to remember, to reflect, and to imagine what might be possible when we choose to start anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Leach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798298789776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Jeremy Leach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49170079383807,"sku":"9798298789776","price":17.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/they-did-something-crazy-jeremy-leach-9798298789776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
