Synopsis
"For those unfamiliar with Sylvia, discovering her stories is like stumbling into a fully loaded wild blackberry patch--impossible to rush through, sweetly fulfilling, with an immediate longing to return to them again and again." --Joshua Kilmer-Purcell, The Fabulous Beekman Boys This collection of stories chronicling Sylvia Jorrín's life on the farm provides comfort and inspiration to all those searching for meaning in life's many blessings. The world of Sylvia's Farm is a rich landscape of natural beauty and simple pleasures. Sylvia Jorrín never expected to become the first woman in the New York City Watershed to solely own and operate a large livestock farm. But first the farm, and then farm life, captured her heart as it has captured the hearts of all those who have read her book. Through unexpected surprises and unanticipated hardships, Sylvia Jorrín has grown into the epitome of the one thing she never expected to be: a farmer. With a devoted following of readers inspired by her underlying appreciation of the world around her, Sylvia's Farm is the sort of ageless story that any reader can pick up and enjoy. Sylvia's Farm is, to quote Kirkus Reviews, "The delight-filled education of an out-of-the-clue shepherdess...." consisting of "....fine-grained, honest rural sketches, on a par with Noel Perrin and Don Mitchell." Sylvia's Farm is a contemporary account of rural farm life and all of the sometimes beautiful, always meaningful lessons that it continues to teach. Told in short vignettes that span over more than a decade, it is a journal of growth, persistence, and the unexpected joys that a new day can bring., "For those unfamiliar with Sylvia, discovering her stories is like stumbling into a fully loaded wild blackberry patch-impossible to rush through, sweetly fulfilling, with an immediate longing to return to them again and again." -Joshua Kilmer-Purcell, The Fabulous Beekman Boys This collection of stories chronicling Sylvia Jorrin's life on the farm provides comfort and inspiration to all those searching for meaning in life's many blessings.
