Slice of Life

Real life stories can tell who you are, and where you are, and sometimes whether anyone else is like you. Here in Under the Plow, there's a lot you'll recognize about home and neighbours or family and gardening, in these real life stories by writer Paula Johanson.
Look here for insights into city folk and country living, as when Paula writes of learning to be both a writer and a farmer, and how can anyone find their way in this part of the world. "Houses out here don't have numbers by the front doors. Houses out here don't even have stairs by the front door. Some of our neighbours don't even have front doors at all, just a place where a front door will be put some day. Our little white house is the only house out here where the front door gets used. It's the only door we have. But then we're odd. Our neighbours are sure we're odd because we use our front door and didn't use to have a phone."
Under The Plow is a collection of Op-Ed columns written for a weekly rural newspaper in Sturgeon County, Alberta. Doublejoy Books is proud to release this book as the third title in the Slice of Life series. As a sequel to No Parent Is An Island and Working Parent, this book brings the family and writing stories into their prime. If you like the humour and storytelling of Hannah Gadsby, then Under The Plow will keep you reading.
"Paula Johanson chronicles the adventure of parenthood with wry wit and ironic accuracy."
