The author of this book, Christine, is a travel writer who travels around the world. During an interview, she met farmer Mark and was deeply attracted by Mark and his lifestyle. She decided to give up everything in the city and settled down with Mark on the Esther Farm. This book is a vivid account of Christine Kimball and Mark's first year at Ethel Farm. From winter to spring, from summer to autumn, they breathed life into the farm bit by bit, and finally ended with the hilarious wedding of the two in the barn loft during the harvest season in the following autumn. Kimball wrote the most authentic, touching and profound connections between people, people and food, and people and the land with meticulous poetic, humorous and vivid writing. At the same time, it is also a journey of growth and transformation for a woman. She was full of enthusiasm from the beginning, experienced anxiety, doubt and even panic, and gradually became determined. Today, she has deep roots in the land and has lived on the farm with Mark for 14 years.
