About this listen

The inspiring, true story of Anne Dodds.

When her husband passed away after a long, trying illness, Annie Dodds was forced to sell almost everything to settle his estate. Homeless, with little money, she wondered if it might be time to pursue a decades-old dream of living a quiet, self-sufficient life alone, off-grid. One day, when her son told her he knew of an old house on 50 acres, she knew it was time.

Feeling empowered and prepared by having read so much over the years, she loaded her belongings into the back of her pickup truck. But as she pulled into the driveway that first day, she could not imagine the challenges she would face, the obstacles she would overcome, the self-doubts she would master, and the soul-strengthening peace and contentment she would find living in a rundown old home on 50 acres of country heaven.

This book has touched me more than any other. I shared in her heartbreak and revelled in her tenacity. One of my favourite books of all time.

Awesome Story

A great story of a very tough woman. But the story of living off grid as promised by the title is scattered lightly between long intervals of her work in the firewood yard.

Not so much about off grid living as it’s about working in log splitting
