Critical Praise

"Ward has crafted a thoughtful, sweet-natured book–one to read s-l-o-w-l-y, by candlelight if possible, with a still mind and a settled heart."

—Raleigh (NC) News & Observer

"A meditation on the value of modern living."

—Birmingham News

"Logan Ward shares his family's brave adventure in this memorable and heartwarming memoir. With fetching candor, he describes his family's escape from the stress of modern living. I found myself completely involved with their experiment. You will find much in this book to think about. It's as valuable as a how-not-to endeavor as it is a how-to inspiration."

—Mildred Armstrong Kalish, author of Little Heathens
