Description
Book SynopsisIn 1990, Murphey, who was a successful BBC producer, and her husband, Greg, a commercial photographer, left their high stress, hectic life in Chicago and moved to a dilapidated 20-plus-acre farm in Brown County, Indiana, hoping to raise their daughter in a natural and less stressful environment. This book details their life on the family's farm.
