Synopsis

National BestsellerSometimes it’s not only what we plant but where we’re planted.Now raising their four-year-old daughter, Indiana, alone, after Joey’s passing, Rory Feek digs deeper into the soil of his life and the unusual choices he and his wife, Joey, made together and the ones he’s making now to lead his family into the future. When Rory Feek and his older daughters moved into a run-down farmhouse almost twenty years ago, he had no idea of the almost fairy-tale love story that was going to unfold on that small piece of Tennessee land . . . and the lessons he and his family would learn along the way.Now two years after Joey’s passing, as Rory takes their four-year-old daughter Indiana’s hand and walks forward into an unknown future, he takes readers on his incredible journey from heartbreak to hope and, ultimately, the kind of healing that comes only through faith.A raw and vulnerable look deeper into Rory’s heart, Once Upon a Farm is filled with powerful stories of love, life, and hope and the insights that one extraordinary, ordinary man in bib overalls has gleamed along the way.As opposed to homesteading, this is instead a book on lifesteading as Rory learns to cultivate faith, love, and fatherhood on a small farm while doing everything, at times, but farming. With frequent stories of his and Joey’s years together, and how those guide his life today, Rory unpacks just what it means to be open to new experiences.“This isn’t a how-to book; it’s more of a how we, or more accurately, how He, God, planted us on a few acres of land and grew something bigger than Joey or I could have ever imagined.”

Goodreads review by Jennifer ~ TarHeelReader on April 14, 2018

I can’t give this any less than 5 stars. Once Upon a Farm is beautifully written. I don’t listen to gospel music, and I didn’t know who Rory and Joey Feek were when I first read their story on social media a few years ago.

Goodreads review by Valerity (Val) on June 13, 2018

This was a sad yet uplifting and well-written book by Rory Feek of Rory and Joey fame, his second book sharing about his life.

This is basically more of the same as the previous Rory Feek book I finished earlier today...in both good and bad ways. You may be disturbed by some of the personal details revealed here.......more
