    About this ebook

    "Lilabean is a beautifully-written book. It touched my heart, simply and directly. This book will appeal to any woman (or man) who has ever felt overwhelmed by life, who has ever felt lost on her life's journey, who has ever wanted to simplify her life. [Kate Carpenter] has captured the true essense of simplicity." - Linda Breen Pierce, Author of Choosing Simplicity: Real People Finding Peace and Contentment in a Complex World.

    "Lilabean is a delightful romp, a satiric yet incisive look at everywoman's life. In this cluttered and time-pressured era of too much stuff and too many obligations, too many people have lost their way and themselves. Lilabean helps you get back on track. - Wanda Urbanska, Simple Living Expert, Author & Host of "Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska."

    Kate Carpenter

    I became a minimalism groupie in my first year of college (1972) when I read Living Poor with Style by Ernest Callenbach. (We called it "simplicity" back then.) I've been a student of it ever since and began writing books on the subject in 1998. In 2010, I finally escaped the rat race - forever, I hope. "Let the rats have it!" I say. "It's no fun anyway."
