chasing cows: I'm Not in the Suburbs Anymore

“Born in Brooklyn, raised on military bases around the nation and the world, I never thought I would become a farm wife in West Virginia.” Lyn Widmyer offers humorous essays about her 30 years as a “farm wife” who doesn’t can, doesn’t wear muslin and can’t tell a Guernsey from a Hereford. Her adventures in West Virginia range from chasing cows to taking a cake to Martha Stewart during her incarceration at Alderson Prison. After retiring from her career as an urban planner, Lyn was elected to the Jefferson County Commission in 2008. When not writing, Lyn enjoys killing stink bugs, avoiding housework and trying to get her adult children to return her phone calls.
