This is an enjoyable book that, for a brief while, will take many of its readers home." —News-Journal (Mansfield, OH)
[Logsdon] offers warmth and insight.. The simpler life is within our reach—if we will choose it." —Booklist
This is a quiet, reflective work that describes in some detail the difficulty of developing and maintaining a lifestyle supported by the land, something easier planned than maintained.... a memoir of the spiritual path of one escapee." —Bloomsbury Review

Gene Logsdon has lived by failing according to most people’s standards of success, and has made a good life. A good book, too. I like You Can Go Home Again (to name one reason of several) because it comes from experience.
