Nadine Hays Pisani touched the world with her bestselling series, Happier Than A Billionaire. She finds herself again surrounded by nature, embarking on a new adventure deep in the heart of the Nantahala Forest.
Surrounded by air smelling of pine needles and rhododendrons, stands a neglected house in need of an owner. No cell service, internet, or landline might deter most buyers, but not the author and her husband who recklessly purchase the property with hopes the fixer-upper is less fixer and more upper.
With her signature wit and humor, the author shares humorous tales of living in the Appalachian Mountains surrounded by nature's unpredictable wonders. From a relentless woodpecker, lurking bears, and determined groundhogs, every day brings surprises.
But it's not just the wildlife that keeps life interesting. She meets a cast of quirky characters like Scooter, the forest-dwelling worker; Jimmy, the hardware store's varmint-battling employee; and Rusty, the ever-friendly neighbor who keeps a watchful eye on the bumbling duo.
A House in the Woods serves as a love letter to the Nantahala Forest and nearby Smoky Mountains, where picturesque waterfalls and serene rivers offer an atmosphere with undeniable health benefits. A place where Cherokee history whispers through the mist, grounding the land in a rich and complex past.
For anyone who's ever dreamed of escaping to the woods—or just wants to laugh at someone who did—this book is a reminder that the middle of nowhere is the best place to start.
