Meghan Daums unforgettable debut novel brings her sharp wit and courageous social commentary to the story of Lucinda Trout, a New York television reporter in search of greener pastures. Moving to the slowerpaced, friendly, and vastly more affordable Midwestern town of Prairie City, Lucinda zealously creates a series of televised reports for her New York audience about her newfound quality of life. But when Lucinda falls for eccentric local Mason Clay, her navet about the real world leads her down an unexpected path, where she encounters, among other things, a drafty old farmhouse filled with children, an evergrowing menagerie of farm animals, and the harshest winter the region has seen in twenty years. In other words, simplicity just isnt as simple as it is cracked up to be, and "quality of life," Lucinda learns, is much more complicated than she ever imagined.
