"...I"m from Vermont and I haven"t managed to get out yet, so that makes me a Yankee. It also makes me cranky every now and again, which is where this book comes in..."If there"s anything you might want to know about life in rural Vermont, here"s your chance to get it straight from the horse"s mouth, seventh generation point of view. From the perils of the country backroad to the pros and cons of contact lenses for chickens, the author takes a fond, if somewhat jaundiced look at the world she grew up in.
