Catherine Friend
Author, Narrator & Farmer
Catherine Friend was happy being an author and writing instructor. She
always wore clean clothes. She never had anything disagreeable stuck to
the bottom of her shoes. That all changed the day she agreed to help her
partner Melissa fulfill Melissa’s lifelong ambition to farm in Minnesota.
Catherine and Melissa embark on a rural odyssey filled with sheep, goats,
chickens, llamas, and a host of other natural disasters. As it turns out,
farming isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Hit by a Farm is a coming-of-(middle)-age story of a woman trying to close
the divide between who she wants to be and who she really is. After helping
Melissa realize her dream, Catherine eventually finds a way to recapture her
own in this unforgettable crash course in living off-and living with-the land.
“A sweet and funny book in the classic
‘Hardy Girls Go Farming’ genre, elegantly
told, from the first two pages, which are
particularly riveting for the male reader,
through the astonishing revelation that
chickens have belly-buttons and on to the
end, which comes much too soon. It has
dogs, sheep, a pickup truck, women’s
underwear, electric fences, the works.”
