I loved this book because everything Mr. Welsch said about moving to the country after living in the city is so true. My favorite parts were the stories of the attitudes of the people who have lived in the small town and rural area their entire lives and how reserved they are about a “stranger” moving in. I could relate completely. It takes years and years for them to accept that you are staying, to accept you as one of their own, and to treat you like your are not a complete imposition in their lives. Once they do though, it’s like having a huge extended family…you would never feel that with city living.
