Reading this book, it's obvious that Ffitch drew from her own experience as a homesteader while writing Stay and Fight. She portrays homesteading in an honest way: simultaneously incredibly difficult and deeply fulfilling. I truly appreciate Ffitch's insight and her ability to poke fun at some of the impulses that lead folks like Helen and myself to think that we want to build a homestead from scratch. It won't be easy at all -- but that's part of the appeal.
