Interesting to consider the reviews in the context of those years. Marriage equality was still 9 years away, and people felt they were entitled to question the validity of our identity. And you published this book! Bold and brave.

I love this! Now I can’t wait to read the book (or listen to it) because I KNOW you write funny stuff. :) Thanks for sharing. My mystery came out 10 years ago, and I had the same reaction: how could it have been 10 years already? Thanks, Catherine, for the smiles.

I loved this book! I'm clearly in the camp of "laughing out loud, couldn't put it down" readers. 20 years!!! That's something to celebrate. 🥰

LOVE this book! And now I just downloaded the audio version which will be a fun way to "re-read" it! Thanks for sharing this Catherine and here's to 20 years!! And STILL IN PRINT -- amazing!

WOW!!!! Those farm years, don't they just slide by while you're busy working your little heart out and learning your little head full of things you never imagined you'd be doing. Such a hard, wonderful time of life. Enjoy the memories of all your excellent achievements. In search of placenta under moonlight and all those surreal moments.

Ha! You were there at the beginning and even remember the book's "working title!" Thank heavens I didn't go with that. :-)

One of my all time favorite memoirs! But man, now I’m feeling even older than usual. 😂

It's hard to escape that feeling!

I grew up on a farm up by Alex, and found the book hilarious. I loved that it was a lesbian couple running the farm. We don't get to see ourselves very often and it meant so much to me. Guess who has credits on Audible? :)

Hope the audiobook is okay. I've never listened to it!
