While McCorkindale's stories of adjusting to rural Virginia life after decades in suburban New Jersey are humorous, there's a clear strain of bitterness and more than a whiff of disdain for the residents of Fauquier County and its lack of big-box retailers. This falls flat with me, a suburban girl who opted to move to the boonies when the fast-paced world proved too much for me. She falls far short of feminine humor masters Laurie Notaro and Celia Rivenbark -- take a page from them, Suzy, and get back to us when you learn something. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451224930, Paperback)

A laugh-out-loud memoir about a city slicker who discovers that Manolos and manure just don’t mix.

At her husband’s prompting, suburban mom and New York career woman Susan McCorkindale agreed to give up her stressful six-figure job. Together, they headed down south to a 500-acre beef farm, and never looked back. Well, he didn’t look back. She did. A lot.

From playing “spot the religious billboard” on the drive to rural Virginia, to adapting to a world without Starbucks, to planning bright-orange hunter-resistant wardrobes for the kids (“We moved here to get away from the madness of Manhattan only to risk getting popped on our own property”), this is her hilarious account of how a city girl came to love—or at least tolerate—country life.
