EXACT SAME MOON, THE(ISBN=9780553381498) 英文原版 mobi pdf azw3 夸克云 pdb 115盘 lrf 下载

In Fifty Acres and a Poodle, Jeanne Marie Laskas described how

she survived her first hilariously tumultuous year at Sweetwater

Farm. Now she returns with a funny, touching, and personal new

memoir of what happens after your dream comes true...

With a picture-postcard farm, a wonderful

marriage, two mules, and a new refrigerator that spits crushed ice,

what more can a girl ask for? That’s precisely the question Jeanne

Marie asks herself as she and Alex settle into their new life at

Sweetwater Farm. Two years ago they left the city behind for a life

filled with the practical, often comical, lessons of living close

to the land—and they never looked back. Yet when her strong-willed

mom is hospitalized with a sudden and mysterious paralysis, Jeanne

Marie rushes home to Philadelphia and her extended, sometimes

chaotic, but always loving family. It’s there that she realizes

what is still missing from her life: a family of her own. Now it’s

a matter of bringing up the subject to her husband, Alex, fifteen

years older and with adult children of his own, who seems terrified

that she’s thinking of adopting a Chihuahua.

With warmth, wisdom, and unfailing humor, Laskas

tells the poignant story of her search for motherhood—and what

happens when a woman risks happily-ever-after for something even

more precious. As she tends to her own ailing mother, Jeanne Marie

discovers that the challenges and rewards of living with Mother

Nature pale in comparison to those awakened by the nature of

mothering.

The Exact Same Moon is filled with hilarious and

heartwarming vignettes of people and a way of life you’ll be glad

you met. From "borrowing" sheep to help mow the lawn and sitting in

on the racy hay jokes at the Agway Equine Clinic, to befriending

the notorious old lady who holds the water rights to their future

pond, corrupting the neighbors with satellite TV, and learning the

fine art of going a-calling, Laskas proves once again that

laughter, love, and wisdom are truly homegrown.
