An amusing account of a 50-something woman living alone for a year in a rural cabin on a Puget Sound island. During her adventure she finds out more than she bargained for about pesky raccoons, wacky plumbing, foot infections, capricious weather, the effects of loneliness...and knowing herself.
Quirky book about a woman in her 50s who decides to live alone in a small cabin on an island in the Puget Sound in Washington state. Ms. Murchie has an exceptional sense of humor. There were many times I was laughing out loud. Her down-to-earth views about life and the problems of becoming a hermit make her book a light, fun read.
