Daffodil Hill tells the story of a journey of self discovery and what a journey it is! Burned out by her 24/7 career running her own public relations firm ( parties every night? Check. Calls at 3 a.m.? Check), Jake Keiser spends her spare time looking at chicken web sites. She fantasizes about her own farm, her goats, sheep and chickens. There will be a vegetable garden, a porch..you get the idea. So when she discovers a farm for sale in rural Mississippi, she buys it, leaves city life in Tampa and orders her baby chicks. What follows are laugh out loud descriptions of learning experiences for the beginning farmer. What also follows are introspection and self care as Jake finds happiness from within.

Jake Keiser knows how to write a memoir! I loved that she names all her animals: Serafina, the narcoleptic chicken, baby chicks Prada and Chanel, François the rooster, Valentina the goat and more. Chapters describe farm experiences, her past career and the sadness experienced in her life. Daffodil Hill is a book that makes you just want to.sink into it and leaves you wanting more. 5 stars,
