Book Synopsis



"I laughed out loud more times reading this book than any book I've read in years....I never wanted to leave Woefield, and you won't, either."
--Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries and Insatiable

Susan Juby, already a reader-favorite YA author, makes her triumphant first foray into adult contemporary fiction with Home to Woefield, a hilarious, wildly original, and wonderfully insightful tale of no-so-ordinary life down on the farm. Told in four delightfully distinct narrative voices--a crusty 70-something farmer, a hair band-loving teen, a precocious 11-year old, and an earnest New Yorker in her 20s--Home to Woefield will enchant readers of all ages, as its motley cast struggles to avoid foreclosure with outlandish schemes and prize-winning chickens.



From the Back Cover



Prudence Burns, a well-intentioned New Yorker full of back-to-the-land ideals, just inherited Woefield Farm--thirty acres of scrubland, dilapidated buildings, and one half-sheared sheep. But the bank is about to foreclose, so Prudence must turn things around fast! Fortunately she'll have help from Earl, her banjo-playing foreman with a family secret; Seth, the neighbor who hasn't left the house since a high school scandal; and Sara Spratt, an eleven-year-old who's looking for a home for her prize-winning chickens.

Home to Woefield is about learning how to take on a challenge, face your fears, and find friendship in the most unlikely of places.



Review Quotes




"You will cheer for Susan Juby's delightful cast of characters... As funny as it is heartbreaking, and in voices as original as the story itself, you won't soon forget the inhabitants of Woefield Farm." - Robin Antalek, author of The Summer We Fell Apart

"Disarming, endearing, and laugh-out-loud funny, Home to Woefield is a wry look at a handful of misfits brought together by farmland only slightly more fertile than the moon. A bewitching debut as quirky and charming as they come." - Tish Cohen, author of The Truth About Delilah Blue and Inside Out Girl

"Juby takes us on a downright riotous and warm-hearted ride... Home to Woefield is a fun, fabulous read no matter what the growing season!" - Susan Gregg Gilmore, author of The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove and Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen

"Susan Juby is a marvel. Wise, witty, and full of heart, her writing draws you in and won't let go. And just when you think it can't get any better, it does. I never wanted to leave Woefield, and you won't, either." - Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Insatiable

"This heartwarming and upbeat novel marks young adult author Juby's successful foray into the world of chick lit. Her adult fiction debut is certain to attract readers who enjoy their chick lit in the style of Marian Keyes or Meg Cabot." - Library Journal

"A wonderful juxtaposition of parody and playfulness, Home to Woefield is a joyous book about someone living out a fantasy, confronting illusions, and attempting to make a dream come true." - New York Journal of Books
