What harassed and harried city-dweller has not dreamed of escaping to a quiet place in the country? Sixteen years ago, Lawrence Scanlan--then books editor at The Whig Standard--had that same dream and he acted on it. With his wife, he moved from the city of Kingston to a 19th Century frame house on the Napanee River in the village of Camden East, Ontario (pop. 250).
Heading Home plots their transition from city to country, with its challenges and comic twists. The book's twelve chapters, each devoted to one month, chronicle a year in the life of the village. Scanlan points to a wide range of data and interviews dozens of people who have opted out of city life--all to show that a major demographic shift is underway.
As lyrical as it is practical, Heading Home shows the way to a new life beyond the freeways and high-rises. Heading Home is the perfect book for all who have lived in the city but who yearn to start over--in a country place.
