Readers can transform the dream of rural living into reality with frank advice on making money and friends, raising animals and other realities of relocating to the country.
Alissa Morris is the creator of Urban Exodus and co-runs Hessler Creative, a boutique creative agency. She has been featured in Modern Farmer, Popular Photography, Click Magazine and Maine Home. After relocating to Maine in 2011, she created Urban Exodus to showcase not only the "living the good life" aspect of farming, but also the everyday struggles. The realistic profiles featured on Urban Exodus have created a new and growing community of ex-urbanites.
This 'outsider's guide to a rewarding life in the country' is both
a practical and inspiring treatise for folks dreaming of greener
pastures.

ex-urbanites through every step of the transition, from growing
food to gaining community acceptance. Alissa Hessler delivers solid
practical advice with compassionate 'been there myself' wit."
-Sarah Gray Miller, Editor-in-Chief of Modern Farmer "Perfectly
balancing the clothes line of educational and entertaining, Alissa
has us wanting to flee the city in our rubber boots, and eat peas
in the garden. This book is a must-have guide for all those ready
to leave the city."
-Ben Ashby, Editor-in-Chief of FOLK Magazine "This book is an
invaluable road map for anyone thinking of taking the leap to the
country. Honest, informative, engaging and fun to read, it will
inspire you to break your city chains and go country."

"Alissa delivers 'real talk' about what country life is like. I
laughed, beamed and sometimes cringed with recognition at Alissa's
open-eyed (but never starry-eyed!) town-to-country take."
-Courtney Maum, Bestselling author of I Am Having So Much Fun Here
