Product Description
by Sandy Davis (Author)
Life on a small farm is peaceful-until the goats test the fence, the chickens hold an emergency meeting about nothing, and the sheep hear a grain scoop from distances that defy science and common sense.
In Between the Fenceposts, Sandy Davis invites readers into her North Country New Hampshire farm, where plans are optimistic, dignity is short-lived, and chaos shows up daily without so much as a courtesy call. Told in a series of short, laugh-out-loud essays, these true stories chronicle escaped livestock, questionable animal logic, and the stubborn human belief that this time everything will go smoothly.
Between the mud, mayhem, and manure are quieter, heartfelt moments that linger. Sandy also writes about family, resilience, and the small pauses that appear when the noise settles-moments of gratitude, reflection, and unexpected grace. The humor is sharp, but the heart runs deep.
This is not a farming manual or a glossy country fantasy. It's honest, affectionate storytelling for anyone who's ever watched a simple task unravel spectacularly and decided laughter was the only sensible response.
Perfect for readers who enjoy humorous memoirs, animal antics, and stories that balance comedy with meaning, Between the Fenceposts reminds us that fences fail, animals misbehave, and life rarely cooperates-but good stories, once earned, have a way of standing strong long after the fenceposts fall.
