Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suzanne McMinn, a former romance writer and founder of the popular blog chickensintheroad.com, shares the story of her search to lead a life of ordinary splendor in Chickens in the Road, her inspiring and funny memoir. Craving a life that would connect her to the earth and her family roots, McMinn packed up her three kids, left her husband and her sterile suburban existence behind, and moved to rural West Virginia. Amid the rough landscape and beauty of this rural mountain country, she pursues a natural lifestyle filled with chickens, goats, sheep—and no pizza delivery. With her new life comes an unexpected new love—"52," a man as beguiling and enigmatic as his nickname—a turbulent romance that reminds her that peace and fulfillment can be found in the wake of heartbreak. Coping with formidable challenges, including raising a trio of teenagers, milking stubborn cows, being snowed in with no heat, and making her own butter, McMinn realizes that she’s living a forty-something’s coming-of-age story. As she dares to become self-reliant and embrace her independence, she reminds us that life is a bold adventure—if we’re willing to live it. Chickens in the Road includes more than 20 recipes, craft projects, and McMinn’s photography, and features a special two-color design.

Book excerpt: DIY Natural Hot & Cold Process Soap Crafting Ultimate Guide to Making & Selling Colorful Natural Soaps (Recipes Included) Dioxane, Sulfate, Diethanolamine are some of the ingredients in commercial soap that I never questioned until I began making soap at home. That's when my curiosity got the best of me. After finding just these three, I wanted to call a truce to look for dangerous additives in what I used (and worse yet, my children used) to clean. That's when I thought I found the fourth one. Fragrance! How in the world could something that sounds as harmless as fragrance possibly damage your skin? How wrong I was. The definition of fragrance was a far cry in meaning than the one on the soap label. I began making soap because it was a fun hobby I could share with my children. I continued because it morphed into a successful small business. But I'm now compelled to continue knowing that I'm contributing to the health of my family. I wanted to arrange the chapters in a logical order. So you are not confused as I was when I first started. This book is divided into Two Parts. In the first part, it is all about how to master the art of soap making using the Hot Process Method. In the second Part, I show how you can master the soap crafting using the Cold Process Method. At the end of each part, I give you a few recipes to try out your newly acquired skill, but no worries, these recipes are designed to guide you through each and every step from start to finish. And lastly, in chapter 16, it is all about how to start, run and grow your soap business right from home. After reading the book, you will become a master on how to make homemade soap using both Hot & Cold Process methods. You will also learn about all soap making supplies, my favorite soap making recipes and most importantly you will know the difference between store bought commercial soap vs. all natural and organic soap made right at home. If you have any question, I have added my personal email address at the end of the book, so you can contact me.
