In 1978 Nancy moved with her young family to an island off the coast of Washington state, where she and her husband Lewis naively planned to support themselves as artists. This is the story of their adventures together striving for an unlikely success.
They worked hard for years to reclaim an old pea farm overrun with rabbits. Between hammering nails, weeding gardens, perfecting their art, and feeding their family they watched their land transform, and their creativity flourish.
Their wild land became a splendid garden habitat; a refuge for themselves and for native wildlife ever flowing through.
Richly illustrated in color by the author.

What kind of mischief can two black cats get into when their owners are away?
Angus and Anna, two littermates, decide they too should take a little jaunt away from home. Since they live on an island, the path outside the gate quickly takes them to the edge of the Salish Sea. That is where everything changed. The cats find that their curiosity and independence has led them into a situation that is beyond of their control. As they experience one adventure after another the cats wonder if they will ever find their way home.
