Publisher's summary

When a resolute New Yorker acts on her long festering, secret hankering for a country home, she is thoroughly unprepared to deal with the consequences. These include houseguests who won't leave, trash that spontaneously regenerates, gardens of unearthly delights, critters in the form of ticks and carpenter ants, HOA rules and regulations that invite flaunting, blackouts and whiteouts, and an alarming amount of compacted fireplace ash. Her new second home—a little more than a simple cottage—with its five bedrooms and four bathrooms (and a few pesky mold and asbestos issues), turns out to be the love of her life and a full-time job.

Join Mary as she documents the joys and tribulations of ownership over the course of six years in the charming community of Bucknoll, tucked away in the upper-right hand corner of Pennsylvania. Here, she lures her family and friends to visit, indulge in after dinner killer Scrabble games, and take on the odd plumbing job or two.

The Bucknoll Cottage Chronicles invites you to experience the agonies and ecstasies of country living, home renovation, and life in a small-town community.

Bucknoll Cottage: An Engaging Read

This book takes the reader on a pleasantly rolling amble through the pleasures and vicissitudes of owning a second home in the “country”. It was a pleasure to read. I’ll bet many Boomers have had similar experiences, and reading about the author’s fully engaged me as it brought back so many memories of times gone by and the myriad happy surprises and “oh no” moments. To boot, the author’s wry sense of humor had me chuckling throughout.
