About this audiobook
The inspiring, true story of Anne Dodds
When her husband passed away after a long, trying illness, Annie Dodds was forced to sell almost everything to settle his estate.
Homeless, with little money, she wondered if it might be time to pursue a decades-old dream of living a quiet, self-sufficient life alone, off-grid. One day, when her son told her he knew of an old house on fifty acres, she knew it was time.
Feeling empowered and prepared by having read so much over the years, she loaded her belongings into the back of her pickup truck. But as she pulled into the driveway that first day, she could not imagine the challenges she would face, the obstacles she would overcome, the self-doubts she would master, and the soul-strengthening peace and contentment she would find living in a rundown old home on fifty acres of country heaven.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was so good for my soul, it was encouraging and inspiring. As a woman recently divorced with 3 children, who wants to live a more simple life this book gives hope I will get there one day.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What an amazing story! I have so much admiration for this lady. Love her writing style! Very easy reading! She seemed to fair better out on her own than when she was forced to return to civilization at the end. It was so good that I mailed the book to my cousin, Marty, up in the Hill Country, to read. She LOVED it too!
