Praise for A Country House with Soul

"A deep and rich invitation into our past through the foundation of nature, home, and family. The author of this story carries us on rivers, lulls us with vines growing wide and invites us with wisdom into an inner world of her knowing."
—Chloe Rachel Gallaway, Author, The Soulful Child: Twelve Years in the Wilderness

"You can almost hear the sigh as Herstik recounts the lifetime of happiness she has experienced at the family cabin in the Adirondacks. But with more than wistful memories of joyful summers, she draws you quickly in--with descriptive passages about nature's cycles as a metaphor for personal growth and development. It's a wonderful book!"
—Marlene Klotz, Award-Winning Poet, Author and Member, National League of American Pen Women

Dayle Grande Herstik does not live in the past but looks back on it and remembers what it was like "in those days," growing up in crowded neighborhoods and cities of concrete.

In stark contrast stood the country house--a place of respite from frenetic times and noise, and lack of trees--in a magical environment replete with aromas of pine and balsam, water without chlorine, and activities like berry picking, hammock swinging, and rowing in a big wooden boat. As Herstik's essays welcome us into the summertime sanctuary enjoyed by generations of her family, nature's lessons unfold before our eyes and help us all lead a balanced life.
