The Daughter's Farm
The 6-acre farm with charming rustic farmhouse, spacious outbuilding, working well and lush vineyard gave Jeannie a stomach ache. It should have made her happy, excited and full of hope. But it only made her sick. What on earth was she thinking? To move 300 miles away from everything and everyone she knew for what turned out to be a ramshackle farmhouse, one decrepit outbuilding, a dried up well, and one measly diseased grapevine. To be fair, she shouldn’t have been surprised. It had once belonged to a famous actress who, in her golden years, had become a mad recluse and had retired to what had probably once been a quaint farmette. But now, the house and building huddled close together to create a barren courtyard and beyond the property, aged trees and patches of overgrown vegetation gave the property a forlorn and abandoned feel.
