Simple Living: One Couple's Search for a Better Life

Simple Living: One Couple's Search for a Better Life by Frank Levering

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked this book even though I wasn't sure I was going to. I expected another list of ways to simplify, but instead it is really their story of how they simplified their lives and the values they believe go along with a simple life. I wasn't sure I cared about their journey, but she is a thoughtful, interesting writer and by the end of the first chapter I DID care. By the end of the book you almost feel as if you know them, and wish you did. I've always enjoyed her PBS program, this gave me a new appreciation for Wanda and Frank. The chapter that really got under my skin was the one on volunteering. It's something I really would like to spend more time doing, alone, and as a family.
