Desperate Farmwives

“Finally admitting defeat, Elisha Wells Stroupe has compiled a collection of stories as a small town girl who swore she’d move away to the big city after college. Now in her late thirties, she’s living on a farm that’s nowhere near a Super Target as she had planned. Although not in the city, her stories are full of humorous tales about life lessons and doing whatever it takes to pretend she can’t help with farm chores. From feigning illness, writing to-do lists a mile long to fake industriousness, and going to the extreme lengths of writing a book, anything to avoid the hard labor and sweat that comes with farm life. From the Desperate Farmwives blog, Elisha Wells Stroupe has compiled her best stories, included some new ones, and exaggerated the ones which make her come out smelling like roses while downplaying the ones that make her look like a terrible wife. But it’s her book, she can spin it how she wants.”–Provided by publisher
