Description

No one should ever be on a date wondering if they have actual magpie poo mixed with snow in their hair, running down their back, and soaking into their underwear.

After three years under the thumb of a cretinous boss who’s sucked all the joy out of working a 9-to-5 job, twenty-eight-year-old Kendall Whitney has had enough. She flees San Francisco, her annoying roommates, and her overbearing mother, and takes refuge in Bozeman, Montana, where it feels like the big sky’s the limit.

Safely ensconced in her best friend’s guest room, she promptly launches a three-pronged plan: to live alone for the first time in her life, develop a successful graphic design career, and figure out what she wants in a relationship.

She embarks upon Operation Kendall Independence, only to realize that she doesn’t know the first thing about adulting. Hangovers, homemaking, freelancing, friendships, and modern cowboys bent on monogamy . . . it’s enough to send a single girl running for the gin & tonics.

With self-deprecating charm and endearing humor, Adventures of an Urban Homesteader is the raucous and heartwarming diary of a young woman who’s determined to seek stability and security on her own terms, and to make her own safety net in case she fails.

No one should ever be on a date wondering if they have actual magpie poo mixed with snow in their hair, running down their back, and soaking into their underwear.

After three years under the thumb...

Advance Praise

"1- An entertaining tale of a young lady's adventures on her way to becoming ""an independent young American woman"". What I especially enjoyed about this story - it's amusing situations - completely relatable - with easy bite size entries. Very light and uplifting and it put a smile on my face! An amusing pleasure to read!

2 -Like peeking in your best friend's diary. Whether you're a young professional, starting life, or a seasoned Pro, long beyond those early struggles, there's a lot to laugh about, and think, oh yeah, I can relate to that. Fun, fun read, whether a Summer beach read or a Winter cozy, a new author to watch

3- This is a delightful, laugh out loud, big city girl meets the small-town story. I also love that this is a coming of age for the late twenties which isn't focused solely on finding a man. It's about a young woman finding independence from her family and former location, finding confidence in her career and professional abilities, and yes finding friendship and love. It's a great story of growth while keeping you laughing until your belly hurts. I absolutely loved this book and found myself staying up way too late to finish it. I highly suggest this and am looking forward to seeing more from this very talented debut author! Buy it, you'll love it."
