Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl

A laugh-out-loud memoir about a city slicker who discovers that Manolos and manure just donA't mix.

At her husbandA's prompting, suburban mom and New York career woman Susan McCorkindale agreed to give up her stressful six-figure job. Together, they headed down south to a 500-acre beef farm, and never looked back. Well, he didnA't look back. She did. A lot.

From playing A"spot the religious billboardA" on the drive to rural Virginia, to adapting to a world without Starbucks, to planning bright-orange hunter-resistant wardrobes for the kids (A"We moved here to get away from the madness of Manhattan only to risk getting popped on our own propertyA"), this is her hilarious account of how a city girl came to loveA-or at least tolerateA-country life.

Susan McCorkindale, a former marketing director at Family Circle, is now a freelance advertising copywriter in the wilds of Virginia. But she still loves the New York Giants, Bruce Springsteen, and the Jersey Shore. This is her first book.
