This inspirational book tells of one woman's journey through life to a place of contentment and satisfaction. A writer with insufficient income, a grandma with unwelcome arthritis, she was unsure if she could manage the hard work and mechanical demands of a totally self-sufficient lifestyle, but she gave it a go - and found it full of funny incidents and great rewards. Living alone taught her most about herself, as it released her from the dramas and distractions of a relationship, and dependence on men - except for the secret knowledge of machines that she feels they are born with! It also gave her the determination to be less selfish with her time, and to do her best to call a halt to the destruction of our environment so that we all learn to live more sustainably and leave a better world for our grandchildren.
