Why bother? Drink craft beer.
I finished this yesterday. Well, it stopped. There was no real ending. I turned the page and it was over. I was confused.
This woman is a bystander to her entire life. She is beaten by her first husband and goes back, more than once. Even after being warned that he will kill her.
She leaves her dying her grandmother alone in her room, while staying to watch over her. Really?
She leaves all finances to her accountant husband, doesn’t notice they don’t pay taxes for 5 years, while continuing to spend money on craft beer and private schools. While living in a falling apart house they pour money into that they bought from friends. When the bank forecloses on the house, they move into a rickety shack in worse condition, and stall moving their belongings until they have to break back into their old house to reclaim what they left behind. The new house is falling apart and is infested with mice, wolf spiders, and snakes. Such a deal!
She runs away, finds a better life, and then goes back to the rickety shack, filled with spiders and snakes. Because her husband asked her to come back. And maybe all that craft beer.
They claim to have $4.57 in the bank, but sure drink a lot of craft beer and buy a lot of animals. They have little practical knowledge of the chickens and goats now in their care so they kill, or nearly kill, many of them. If you acknowledge you can’t measure accurately, why are you measuring out feed for your animals? This stupidity leads to one of the goats almost dying, with many expensive vet visits. She sits next to a pregnant goat for days, drinking craft beer, because she can’t add to know when the goat is due to birth. All on $4.57.
This is a testimony to why some people shouldn’t have animals. It feels like a blog that was stuffed into book format. She spends hours heating then cooling water, sitting by a goat, making soap. And we get to relive every moment with her.
Just buy a craft beer and do something more productive than reading this book.
