Making Home Profitable

A determined city dweller, faced with soaring rents and cramped apartments, decides to trade urban congestion for a modest farmhouse of her own. After a chance encounter at a poultry show, she embarks on a practical quest for a home where gardens, chickens and a small orchard can turn everyday chores into a source of income. The narrative follows her methodical search—advertising, correspondence, countless trips to the rail line—until she discovers a long, white house tucked beside a river, complete with outbuildings and fertile land.

Through vivid descriptions of the house’s layout, the surrounding woods, and the promise of a self‑sustaining lifestyle, the book captures both the excitement and the careful calculations required to make such a venture viable. Listeners will hear the blend of personal optimism and realistic budgeting that frames her early steps toward a profitable, peaceful home.
