From the Publisher:
Prudence Burns, a well-intentioned New Yorker full of back-to-the-land ideals, just inherited Woefield Farmthirty acres of scrubland, dilapidated buildings, and one half-sheared sheep. But the bank is about to foreclose, so Prudence must turn things around fast! Fortunately she'll have help from Earl, her banjo-playing foreman with a family secret; Seth, the neighbor who hasn't left the house since a high school scandal; and Sara Spratt, an eleven-year-old who's looking for a home for her prize-winning chickens. Home to Woefield is about learning how to take on a challenge, face your fears, and find friendship in the most unlikely of places. |
Annotation:
Combining the resources of an elderly caretaker and two idiosyncratic, underage neighbors, Prudence Burns aims to revive her uncle's farmstead before a bank can claim the debt-ridden land. Susan Juby's novel makes full comic use of her rural character's eccentricities and Prudence's city-slicker ways in HOME TO WOEFIELD, a classic tale of teamwork and underdog odds. With just the patch of inherited dirt, a sheep with only half its coat of wool, bolstered by the ingenuity--and chickens--belonging to tiny Sara Spratt, will Prudence rouse the ragtag outfit into indomitable agrarian entrepreneurs?
