Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska

Simple Living tells the story of how one L.A. couple transformed their lives when they took on - and turned around - a struggling family orchard in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. The book is also about a quest for values: how our culture?s preoccupation with material success can hamper your personal fulfillment. Already a classic in the field, Simple Living is the most compelling story yet about how simplifying your life can enhance the quality of your life.
