Overview
Part DIY, part memoir, part musing, This Season, The Next finds Casey Knott at several intersections: starting over after a divorce, meeting the love of her life, blending a family, and finding and remodeling an urban farm complete with chickens and a much beloved pet turkey. Whittling down her failures, Knott discovers that refining, renewal, and patience are at the root of not just gardening, but caring for chickens, creating a new family, and remodeling a home. There are no certainties with any of these endeavors-such is life-but Knott reminds us that we can still choose joy because and in spite of that, and that every season gives way to the next.

"""A luminous, lyrical memoir."" -Thomas Maltman, author of The Land and Little Wolves ""Casey Knott's story and her grace with language give us a lot to think about, a lot to remember. "" -Nick Healy, author of It Takes You Over ""This is a story that can only be told after the making that is a re-making, after risk, years and years after facts one cannot see clearly without distance from them, hope in Knott's Iowa a thing with feathers, yes, but bloodied ones."" -Matt Mauch, author of A Northern Spring ""Casey Knott doesn't just mend her broken American families, she reconfigures them as a hectic array in sunstruck stained glass."" -John Domini, author of The Archeology of a Good Rag� ""Anyone-everyone-who's had to find their way in the world will relish this tale of seeking out and building a home, seed by seed, feather by feather, and tile by tile."" -Gwen Hart, author of Never Be the Same"
