Description

We all dream about it, but Wade Rouse actually did it. Discover his journey to live the simple life in this hilarious memoir.

Finally fed up with the frenzy ofcity life and a job he hates, Wade Rouse decided to make either the bravest decisionof his life or the worst mistake since his botched Ogilvie home perm: to uproot hislife and try, as Thoreau did some 160 years earlier, to “live a plain, simple lifein radically reduced conditions.”

In this rollicking and hilarious memoir, Wadeand his partner, Gary, leave culture, cable,and consumerism behind and strike outfor rural Michigan—a place with fewer people than in their former spinning , Wade discovers the simple life isn’t so simple. Battling blizzards, bloodthirstycritters, and nosy neighbors equipped with night-vision goggles, Wade and his spirit,sanity, relationship, and Kenneth Cole pointy-toed boots are sorely tested with humorousand humiliating frequency. And though he never does learn where his well water actuallycomes from or how to survive without Kashi cereal, he does discover some things inthe woods outside his knotty-pine cottage in Saugatuck, Michigan, that he alwaysdreamed of but never imagined he’d find–happiness and a home.

At Least in the CitySomeone Would Hear Me Scream is a sidesplitting and heartwarming look at taking arisk, fulfilling a dream, and finding a home–with very thick and very dark curtains.
