Home: Chronicle of a North Country Life - Brossura

Beth Powning has photographed two gardening books, Hardy Roses and Hardy Trees and Shrubs, and has contributed articles and photographs to numerous other books and magazines.  Her most recent book is a memoir called  Shadow Child: An Apprenticeship in Love and Loss.  She lives on a three-hundred acre farm in New Brunswick, Canada with her husband and their son.

years ago, when she was twenty-one, Beth Powning and her husband left their native Connecticut for an abandoned farmhouse in a secluded province of Canada.  They wanted a home insulated from the onslaught of strip malls and neon.

In paperback for the first time,  Home is a powerful celebration of the search for the spirit of home in nature, as well as the memoir of a woman's relationship with the land, as its mysteries, pleasures, and terrors unfold before her.

Brought to life with seventy-five sensuous color photographs taken by the author, and filled with rare insights into the natural world, this story will strike a resonant chord in anyone who has yearned for a simpler life.
