It opens with the author, novelist Brad Kessler, moving away from society (New York City) and toward nature (a seventy-five-acre Vermont farm) and chronicles an experiment in agrarian living.

He grows to love living with goats, as he strives to make delicious cheeses. This seems to be a genuine revelation, reason alone to write a book.
