There, Wade discovers the simple life isn’t so simple. Battling blizzards, bloodthirsty  critters, and nosy neighbors equipped with night-vision goggles, Wade and his spirit,  sanity, relationship, and Kenneth Cole pointy-toed boots are sorely tested with humorous  and humiliating frequency. And though he never does learn where his well water actually  comes from or how to survive without Kashi cereal, he does discover some things in  the woods outside his knotty-pine cottage in Saugatuck, Michigan, that he always  dreamed of but never imagined he’d find–happiness and a home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAt Least in the City  Someone Would Hear Me Scream\u003c\/i\u003e is a sidesplitting and heartwarming look at taking a  risk, fulfilling a dream, and finding a home–with very thick and very dark curtains.  \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365506089215,"sku":"9780307451910","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780307451910_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597970","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780307451910","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
