about this book: This is a love story -- not only between one couple -- but between that couple and their land in the Ozarks. Radine and John Nehring, a city couple with demanding jobs, yearned for a home in the country. They finally had the courage to buy several acres of Ozarks land, build a cabin, and spend weekends among their hills and hollows. After ten years of this they gathered enough courage to leave the city and their secure jobs for full-time life at Spring Hollow. Radine, in love with their land and what they were learning there, wanted to share what they treasured with a larger world. She began to sell essays and articles, all based on their experiences -- exciting, touching, humorous -- to magazines and newspapers in many places. These little stories were finally collected, with added material, in a book named after their Arkansas home, SPRING HOLLOW. The Nehring's story will touch the lives of all who read it, especially those who love the natural world, want to preserve as much of it as possible, and, maybe, just maybe, make a home out in the woods just like the Nehrings did. For city dwellers, it offers a touch with the natural world far away from city lights, asphalt, and concrete.

Radine adds: This story was a joy to live, and a joy to write about and share.
