Pages : 242
Book Description
Fat Dog Farm: Tails of Farm Failures illustrates the many mishaps as Aleah and Andrew navigate city life to farm life. The book showcases the multi-species family and subsequent farm calamities. We all love a good failure, don't we? This is a humorous, inspirational tale of back-to-the-land dreams that encounter some challenging, but ultimately surmountable rough patches of reality. The tale begins in their urban home in Asheville, North Carolina when Andrew's brother suddenly drops off his dog, a Great Pyrenees mixed breed, named Samosa. As Andrew and Aleah navigate their relationship, life shifts from a downtown city space to acreage, thanks to Samosa. Aleah is the dreamer and optimist; Andrew applies the practical and financial brakes, which are needed often for the farm dream to mature. The story chronicles their first six years of homesteading in Tryon, North Carolina. What do you get when two suburbanites naively bring several farm species into their lives and hearts? Excitement, sad times, and failures, but a few successes, too. Each chapter relives the many fiascos that incur while living close to the land and caretaking livestock. The journey revealed becomes the muse for Aleah's first book.

The Dog Farm
Author: David S. WillsPublisher:
ISBN: 9780956952516
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
For thousands of young Westerners, South Korea is an escape from reality. It is a place where money is easy and booze is cheap. By day they toil in crooked cram-schools, teaching the peninsula's violent, video game-obsessed youth. At night they cut loose and embrace Korea's famous drinking culture. Among these disaffected young teachers is Alexander. Young, naive and a little drunker than most, he is struggling to cope with life on the "wrong side of the world." In The Dog Farm we follow Alex from girl to girl, beer to beer, across Korea, to Japan, and back again, in an unlikely love story. "The heartfelt cavorting of Jack Kerouac across America is recalled in The Dog Farm." - 10 Magazine "Hunter S. Thompson would've been proud. The Dog Farm is much like a gin and tonic - a bit too bitter for some and just what the doctor ordered for others." - Chris in South Korea "Wills' text remains an entertaining novel throughout, particularly for readers with experience living and/or working in South Korea. Alexander's descriptions of day-to-day life for an expat in Korea will ring true to moments we have all experienced. I found the novel triggering memories that left me nodding in agreement... In addition, Wills' prose is fluid and easy to read - a great achievement for his first piece of long-form fiction. I will certainly be seeking out his future work." - Daegu Compass

Book Description
"I had no idea that Frieda would enter my life and alter it in the most profound way, but that's one of the beautiful things about animals. They change you, and you almost never see it coming." When writer Jon Katz met Maria Wulf, a quiet, sensitive artist he felt a connection with her immediately, but a formidable obstacle stood in the way: Maria's dog, Frieda. A rottweiler-shepherd mix who had been abandoned and living in the wild for several years, Frieda was ferociously protective. She roared and charged at almost anyone who came near. But to Maria, she was her sweet, loyal and devoted friend. Jon quickly realised that to win over Maria, he'd have to make friends with Frieda too. The Dog Nobody Loved is the heart-warming story of how one man and a dog discovered it's never too late to find love. Please note, The Dog Nobody Loved is the UK title for the book published in the US as The Second-Chance Dog.
