Gone Feral--#109 finished

I had read the another book by Novella Carpenter, Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer, which was a really good read about her taking over an empty inner city lot and making a garden and pens for animals.  Funny and easy to read so I figured I would check out another book by her.  This one is about a kind of search for her father as well as about her growing up.  Her parents were kind of back to the farm hippies that bought 180 acres in small kinda nowhere Idaho.  Novella has an older sister as well.  It sounds like they were kind of free range kids while parents made a go of it but eventually marriage ended and mom moved to Washington small town to teach.  Dad stayed in Idaho and sort of became a kind of mountain man--living off odd jobs but mostly cutting down trees.  Daughters didn't really stay in touch and now as Novella around age 36 wants to have a child, she also wants to connect with father and book is about that.  Her dad has issues, still living a kind of mostly off grid existence but I guess connected enough to town that people noticed when went missing for a few weeks.  Maybe has mental issues that are genetic or maybe related to time in Korea just after the war, not really sure.  Good read about struggles people have, especially people in unusual circumstances.

There are no copies in system for this book and her earlier book that I also read.  I might post book at same time at some point but again have enough credits on PBS so in no hurry to do so.
