When Rory Feek and his older daughters moved into a run-down farmhouse almost twenty years ago, he had no idea of the almost fairy-tale love story that was going to unfold on that small piece of Tennessee land .and the lessons he and his family would learn along the way. Now two years after his wife Joe's passing, as Rory takes their four-year-old daughter Indiana's hand and walks forward into an unknown future, he takes us on his incredible journey from heartbreak to hope and the kind of healing that comes only through faith. A raw and vulnerable look deeper into Rory's heart, this book is filled with powerful stories of love, life, and hope and the insights that one extraordinary, ordinary man in bib overalls has gleaned along the way." - from the rear outer jacket. "Two years ago, when I finished writing the last chapter of the book about our love story, I had to start living a new one. One with just the baby and me. Our little girl, Indiana, is four years old now and finally walking. And I, too, am learning to walk on my own. Putting down new roots in the land that is already such a big part of our life and story. And I've come to realize that though my wife, Joey, had a gift for homesteading, what I'm probably best at is lifesteading: growing love and life and hope in the place where you're planted. And so this past spring I began to dig deeper into the soil of our lives and the unusual choices that we made together that have brought us to where we are and the ones I'm making now that will lead us into the future. Almost every day someone asks me how we're doing on our own. "We are doing well," I say, "but we are not on our own. Joey is still with us. Her love is everywhere." Life is so strange. Where one story ended, another began. This is not a how-to-book; it is more a how-we or, even more accurately, how He, God, has worked in our hearts and is continuing to work in this life we are living now .once upon a farm." - from the inner front jacket flap.
