Seven Miles from Asphalt: Lessons Learned on a Family Far Lisa Laue Moreland

City girl moves to the country, seven miles from asphalt. Lisa was smitten with her now husband, and he wooed her to the farm. She hated Girl Scout camping trips growing up because they were outside. What you do for love!




God really has a sense of humor. Look inside for the "Top Ten List" of what Lisa has learned about country/farm living. Did you know that your laundry will come out tie-dyed if you bleach your water well? Also, a deer can fit in the trunk of a Cadillac.




Juggling responsibilities on a farm is demanding. Lisa's day-to-day life is heightened in intensity by a hefty dose of testosterone that is always in the air from raising three boys. Besides being a farm wife, mother, and grandmother, throw in being the director of a small public library, and the juggling act becomes even crazier.




Seven Miles from Asphalt is an easy and fun read that is both realistic and relatable. You will discover that you are more resilient than you think you are. You will realize that you don't have to be perfect to be successful. You will learn that everybody struggles and that's OK.
