About the book
About A place in the country
"This is Laura Shaine Cunningham's story of her lifelong quest for the perfect country place, a tale anyone who has ever dreamed of a little piece of earth will cherish.". "Cunningham's excursions into the country ranged from playing chaperone to her uncle at a Catskills resort's singles weekend to an ill-fated role in a wicked 1960s sci-fi movie, filmed "entirely on location" on a decrepit Woodstock chicken farm, before she found herself engaged in hot pursuit of the house of her dreams: scenic, authentic, private, green. After the requisite real estate dead-ends (the "charmer" tucked behind a nuclear power plant; the creepy retreat of a dead Nazi; the Dutch colonial under the flood plain; houses that "cried internal rain"), Cunningham hit pay dirt with a romantic nineteenth-century stagecoach inn set in the heart of a great estate and bordering a working dairy farm."--BOOK JACKET.
