"We Took to the Woods"

by Louise Dickinson Rich

Seldom has a more delightful book passed through my hands! Louise Rich tells her own story - of a young woman who meets a man while on a canoeing trip in Maine, begins a correspondence with him, decides to marry him, and moves to his home...deep in the woods of Maine. "We Took to the Woods" is a tale of transition, of falling in love with a way of life and a man, all at once. Read this book with an open mind and you'll find yourself in a place of great relaxation and joy, following the seasons as they pass in simplicity and hard work, joy and beauty. This simple tale, filled with beautiful language and amusing stories, is well worth the read. If your life is complicated, filled with hard choices and stress, read this book!
