Still Life with Chickens: Starting Over in a House by the Sea | Catherine Goldhammer

2 posts | 2 read

In this beautifully written and frequently funny memoir, Catherine Goldhammer, newly separated, along with her twelve-year-old daughter, starts life anew in a cottage by the sea, in a rustic town where live bait is sold from vending machines. Partly to please her daughter and partly for reasons not clear to her at the time, she begins this year of transition by purchasing six baby chickens?whose job, she comes to suspect, is to pull her and her daughter forward out of one life and into another. An unforgettable story filled with hope and grace, Still Life with Chickens shows how transcendent wisdom can be found in the most unlikely of places.

Still Life with Chickens: Starting Over in a House by the Sea | Catherine Goldhammer

We would move at the end of July. I spent the next four months making lists. Lists about money, Renovations, Windows, skylights, kitchens, bathrooms, Gardens, fences, and Dormers. I had enormous lists. They were all about hope. I made them over and over.
