The Norman Bird Sanctuary, along with our friends at Island Books, will be hosting an intimate lunch at Paradise Farmhouse for a small group of lucky guests and Ellen Stimson, author of Mud Season and the newly released Good Grief.

“For anyone who has ever dreamed of leaving the city and taking their lives back to nature (and who hasn’t?), will find much to contemplate in this warm and hilarious tale of rural misadventure and small town quirk, even if they have never chased a goat in a bathing suit or called 911 because there were cows in the road. Stimson’s voice is endearing: both in its self-deprecation and its rapture, as she sings an only slightly conflicted love song to Vermont.”
