SUMMARY:Get Your Pitchfork On!
DESCRIPTION:For hard-working urban professionals Kristy Athens and hus
 band Michael, living in the country was a romantic dream. After purcha
 sing seven acres in Washington's beautiful Columbia River Gorge, Athen
 s and her husband were surprised to learn just how challenging rural l
 ife could be.  Get Your Pitchfork On! provides the hard-learned nuts-a
 nd-bolts of rural living from city folk who were in over their heads. 
 Practical and often hilarious, Get Your Pitchfork On! reads like a twe
 nty-first century The Egg and I. Athens' book gives urbanites the prac
 tical tools they need to realize their own dreams of getting away from
  it all, with the basics of home, farm, and hearth. The book enters te
 rritory that others avoid, straightforward advice about the social asp
 ects of country living, from health care to schools to small-town poli
 tics. Athens doesn't shy away from controversial subjects, such as own
 ing firearms and hiring migrant workers.  Kristy Athens' nonfiction an
 d short fiction have been published in a number of magazines, newspape
 rs and literary journals, most recently Jackson Hole Review, High Dese
 rt Journal, Barely South Review, and the anthology Mamas and Papas. At
 hens currently lives in Portland, Oregon where she works for Oregon Hu
 manities and is also an artist and novice fiddle player. She and her h
 usband are plotting their next attempt at rural living.\nFor more info
