Product Description

Jack’s Farm is a testament to one special man’s "desire of the heart"—and the fulfillment of his dream on a long-abandoned property. Part of the modern world, and yet apart from it, in an old farmhouse with no power or running water, Jack and Joan Earle entered into "pioneer" life, just as the world was meeting the new millennium.

Interwoven with heart-warming descriptions of the challenges and blessings of old ways meeting new, Jack’s Farm is the story of a quiet, methodical technician and a spontaneous, impulsive artist who could have been separated by their differences, but who chose instead to find the value in them.

Review
"Jack’s Farm" is about love in marriage, love for God, love of life. -- Maggie Wheeler, author of A Violent End and The Brother of Sleep

From the dedication to the last paragraph, this book is a wonderful celebration of life and love. -- Norman Seymour, PhD., prfessor, St. Francis Xavier University

The most honest book I have read in a long time...as compelling a read as "Tuesdays with Morrie." -- Peter Sims, Tri-Graphic Printing

Beautiful Tale of Love5
Jack's Farm is one of the best books that I have ever read. It appealed to me on so many different levels that I would recommend this novel to anyone. Jack's Farm to me is a story of love, companionship, marriage, friendship and true respect for others and the world around us. The author, Joan Levy Earle, did such an excellent job of portraying her story that I could close my eyes and see the farm, the people and the love surrounding them. It made me treasure the ones closest to me. This book is one to be cherished!

A gladsome memoir5
Rebeccasreads highly recommends JACK'S FARM as a walk down a Canadian woman's memory lane of her husband, her marriage, her work, the abandoned farm they found in the oak forest, & her love of God.

With its gladsome cover & its hardcover pocket-size, JACK'S FARM is a rare gem of a memoir, quietly & gently written, with much self-reflection on the joy of discovery, marital blossoming, trials & tribulations, & letting God take the wheel.

Elegantly presented JACK'S FARM is a profoundly satisfying read, radiantly written, of a woman's flowering, a flourishing of a marriage, a thriving of a spirit. It will bring gladness to all who wander into its pages, especially widows facing solitude & grief, yearning for an opening to God's grace.
