The book is chock full of tips and techniques. In 5 Acres and a Dream, she takes us all on the journey toward creating a homestead, pretty much from scratch, and documents all the highs and, yes, even the occasional lows. It’s hard work, and she readily mentions that, but still, I swear she makes it look so easy. Heck, she even has some recipes in it! This is a book that anyone, novice homesteader wannabe or someone experienced and living off the grid for years, would enjoy and be able to find both knowledge and kinship within its pages. It’s not always an easy journey but in the end, it’s a worthwhile journey and she has done it all with a grace and fighting spirit that would make those that have come before us (and done it) proud.
So grab a copy of the book, it's both reference manual and personal story in one engaging story and would make a great gift for your own reading list or for someone on your gift list.

I know one thing for sure, with this book's help, and our own "Master Plan", I want our farm to be like theirs when it grows up, ha.
