Book Synopsis

• Wall Street Journal Top 10 bestseller
• New York Times Bestselling author

If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucía would REALLY be like, they might have hesitated...

They have no idea of the culture shock in store. No idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. No idea they'll help capture a vulture or be rescued by a mule. Will they stay, or return to the relative sanity of England?

Includes Spanish recipes donated by the village ladies and a link to a FREE accompanying photo book.
