The EGG and I by Betty MacDonald

What an enjoyable book. It was published in 1945 and was about how a woman who married and followed her husband into be a chicken farmer in the Pacific Northwest. The trials, tribulations and funny things that happened along the way made me feel very thankful for my 'easy' life. She is very descriptive, but not too much. It really felt like she was just sitting here telling me a story. She really transported me right into her world. Her little side stories about the neighbors were great. I laughed and got teary. She did a great job all around, this is a keeper.
