We'll hear tales of people who left the rat race of the big city and moved to Northern New England. The stories range from first confrontations of wildlife, to syrup tapping oak trees to outhouse racing and other surprises of small town life. Laura's guests are Barrie Woodruff, an essayist for NHPR on small town life. She moved from California to New Hampshire a few years ago. Chris Bohjalian, author of many books including “Idyll Banter: Weekly Excursions to a Very Small Town”. Chris moved from New York to Vermont back in 1986 and has lived there ever since and Rebecca Rule, a New Hampshire-based writer and self proclaimed wordsmith. She is also book review editor for the Concord Monitor and has published several books.
