<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Farm Girl </i>is a memoir of urgent grace that crosses boundaries of genre and time. In her second year of college, Megan finds herself bonded to a lover spiraling into addiction and two thousand miles away from her heart's home--a stretch of forty certified-organic acres along the banks of the Connecticut River separating Vermont and New Hampshire. In the crucible of a rainy Portland winter, Megan is forced to decide whether to embrace her future as a farm girl or to continue growing into the woman everyone hopes she'll become. <i>Farm Girl </i>is about two love affairs that force a decision: the love between two people and the love between Megan and the landscape. With innovative prose and lush description, <i>Farm Girl </i>raises the earth up as a character and asks questions about the work we choose to sustain us--how careful attention and devotion to the earth transcends human tragedy.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Megan Baxter</b> grew up in Hanover, New Hampshire, just across the river from the fields she grew to love during her days as a farm girl. She worked as a farmer while earning her BFA in poetry and directed an urban nonprofit garden during her MFA program. Megan's essays have won numerous national awards including a Pushcart Prize, and have been listed in <i>The Best American Essays of 2019</i>.
