Description

I’m not from Maine… but I got here as soon as I could.
Six years ago, a family from Florida fell in love with “the way life should be,” and although
they’ve never seen a moose, the Smileys intend to stay. Because say what you will about the cold
winters and the messy mud season, there is no other place to raise a kid than in the great state of
Maine.
Got Here As Soon As I Could is a collection of syndicated columnist Sarah Smiley’s
most-loved columns about raising a family in Maine. In these 100 essays, readers will laugh, cry
and nod their head “yes” as they remember a time when all of America was as simple and beautiful as it still is today in Vacationland.
