When Lucie Amundsen had a rare night out with her husband, she never imagined what he'd tell her over dinner - that his dream was to quit his office job (with benefits!) and start a commercial-scale pasture-raised egg farm. His entire agricultural experience consisted of raising five backyard hens, none of whom had yet laid a single egg. To create this pastured poultry ranch, the couple scrambles to acquire nearly 2,000 chickens - all named Lola.

Took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions
Revisado: 03-14-16
Would you listen to Locally Laid again? Why?
Yes, because it was so entertaining. And also some good information about agribusiness is included. Anyone who eats or pays taxes should be interested in agribusiness
What was one of the most memorable moments of Locally Laid?
There were so many.
Mostly Lucie's tales of the family's tribulations.
Lucie crying at a restaurant when Jason tells her of his dream.
-The Amundsen’s mixing with cultures other than their own, like their visit to Amish farmers; and the visit from glitzy California PR to the egg farm in Minnesota.
The city of Duluth rallying around the Amundsens.
After receiving business advice from a group of mentors, Lucie "losing her cookies" in the parking ramp on her way to her car as she ponders that it is better to give than receive.
What about Kate Reading’s performance did you like?
Kates' reading voice was pleasant, easy to understand and believable
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have if I had the time it is too long for that.
Any additional comments?
It's a fun memoir packed with information about food and business.

President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals.

Worth a read
Revisado: 11-04-15
I enjoyed the first part of the book i.e. Learning about his childhood an young adult years. I did not care for the last one-third of the book.
The first part was told in a very personable .
Clinton did a good job of near reading this book I found his voice easy to listen to.

There just isn't enough time for everything on our to-do list - and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure those get done. They eat their frogs. There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're done with the worst thing you'll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task - but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life.

A child of a hoarder - an outcast growing up amid shocking squalor - finds purpose in this vivid memoir. Broken, alone and buried in a house full of junk and shame, Eddy Gilmore takes the "normal" route out - institutionalized learning. But when college life fails to offer meaning, the young man reaches a turning point, a point at which he abandons social norms, abandons the status quo, and strikes out on his own.

I liked it.
My mom and I listened together.
It's like two books in one.
Mom hated the first part and hat to skip it because it was so disgusting.
I listened and though gross, it made the second part of the book meaning
The narration was excellent.
So impressed with Eddy's accomplishments.
