FIFTY ACRES AND A POODLE(ISBN=9780553380156) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

　　Jeanne Marie Laskas had a dream of fleeing her otherwise happy

urban life for fresh air and open space — a dream she would

discover was about something more than that. But she never expected

her fantasy to come true — until a summer afternoon’s drive in the

country.

That’s when she and her boyfriend, Alex — owner of Marley the

poodle — stumble upon the place she thought existed only in her

dreams. This pretty-as-a-picture-postcard farm with an Amish barn,

a chestnut grove, and breathtaking vistas is real ... and for sale.

And it’s where she knows her future begins.

But buying a postcard — fifty acres of scenery — and living on

it are two entirely different matters. With wit and wisdom, Laskas

chronicles the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories of the

colorful two- and four-legged creatures she encounters on

Sweetwater Farm.

Against a backdrop of brambles, a satellite dish, and sheep,

she tells a tender, touching, and hilarious tale about life, love,

and the unexpected complications of having your dream come

true.
