Acclaimed novelist Brad Kessler lived in New York City, but longed for a life on a farm where he could grow his own food. After years of searching for a home, he and his wife, photographer Dona Ann McAdams, found a mountain farmhouse on a dead-end road, with seventy-five acres of land. One day, when Dona returned home with fresh goat milk from a neighbor's farm, Kessler made a fresh chevre, and their life changed forever.
