Author: Nancy Bolton
Genre: Memoir
Release Date: July 30, 2019
Faced with eviction, living on union strike pay, our time for making a decision was running out. Where could we go to live with our five small sons? We had few options. The scariest possibility was also the one that fit best with our tiny income. But could we really make such a difficult move? To transport our family, and our mobile home onto a five-acre parcel of rural, undeveloped land? No electricity, no running water, with winter fast approaching. It sounded a little crazy…….Click here to grab your copy.
"Adventures in Poverty " Nancy Bolton tells the story of her husband losing his job after a strike at the mine he was working at and how they moved and literally lived off the land. This book is an easy read and really makes a reader glad for all the comforts they have like electricity and running water.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I felt the author's pain when she was telling about the lost of animals due to other animals and a person's mistake at trying to do the right thing.
I'm not sure I could do what she did learning a whole new way of living. I think I would have given up if I have to live with my house tilted like she did.
I wonder if the author kept most of the struggles that she and her family faced so the book won't be depressing because I am sure that things were more difficult than she wrote about, I know they would be for me. Of the difficulties that she did write of, the cold would have been the worst for me because I freeze when people have their air conditioners on too high. I have to say I admire this family for surviving this journey and making it work.
I was given a complementary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Sometimes life hands out an unexpected challenge, and the direction you mapped out for your family comes up against a big roadblock. And there you are, trying to navigate back to a path that makes sense. One that would be as close to the previous path as you can get. But our only options led us in directions far away from what we were used to.
