In 1974, the author and her husband decided to leave the life they had been living in Europe and move to a small farm in Northern California with their two young boys. The book tells of the hard but satisfying work that made up their new life. They had to learn an amazing variety of skills to grow and raise all of their food; cooking on a woodstove, baking bread, making cheese, preserving fruits and vegetables, tanning hides, raising, slaughtering and butchering animals. That life also involved politics when starting an environmental organization which took on the U.S. government, a lumber giant, and Southern Pacific Railroad. Plus there were three years of homeschooling for the boys. In their efforts to live the simple life they encountered a colorful array of eccentrics: the old timers, the dope growers, the loggers, the ranchers, the successful, and those plagued by bad luck. It was an amazing experience of learning, laughter, and accommodation to the land and weather. The author is now at work on a book about her world travels and further adventures.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Renamed The Exhausting Life By Linda This story was a real eye-opener. Haven't we all dreamed of escaping the pace and pressure of our lives and returning to a simpler life? Ms. Brezinski's detailed, often humorous and charming account of nine years of near-self-sufficiency opened my eyes to the brutal pace our ancestors maintained just to survive. I was left with barely enough energy to warm dinner in the microwave and press the remote control on the TV.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. amazing read! By Amazon Customer Wow! As a small-town Midwestern girl, currently raising 2 young children in the Bay Area, I really connected with this book! I appreciated all of the detail about the family's self-sufficiency processes in the kitchen, garden, around the home, and even in the education of their children. Really amazing and educational! I will apply many of these lessons and values to my own life as a suburban stay at home mother. This book has also inspired me to journal about my life experiences as a mother, wife, and homemaker so in the future I can look back on my family's amazing experiences throughout the years and remember details which may otherwise be forgotten. Thank you to the author for sharing your story.As an added note, last year my husband and I took our children to watch a lunar eclipse at Whiskeytown recreation area, which is near where this story took place. A very beautiful area! All of a sudden I'm feeling the urge to drive up again and maybe take a detour through Hayfork. :-)

Fascinating account of country living By Maxine Tano The Simple Life is a delightfully detailed account of a family leaving not only city life, but the European lifestyle to get back to the land. Beautifully written, the reader immediately becomes acquainted with the family as they find a house and land in a Northern California milling town. We learn everything from bee keeping to how to slaughter and use every inch of a pig. At times you just laugh out loud with a hilarious account of eating unidentified mushrooms at others you learn of the stresses back to the land folks face often leading to divorce and pain.I would recommend this book to anyone, old or young, who considers leaving the rat race to grow their own food and live off the land. As Ms. Brezinski notes besides farming it is essential to become involved with the community and take a stand against the Big Guys when you health and water supply is threatened.Thanks for the remarkable 9 year journey.
