It All Began with Daisy

When I first read this engaging book by Sonia Jones in about 2000, I couldn't put this book down. Closing the last page, I attempted to look up the Peninsula farm, envisioning a trip to Novia Scotia, only to find the farm recently shut down. Appears the farm continued operating well after the book was published. If you loved this book and enjoy arm-chair traveling, I highly recommend another inspiring book of a road less traveled. See my review of Atchafayala Houseboat by Gwen Carpenter Roland.

It All Began With Daisy is an inspiring book filled with humour, local colour and excellent storytelling. It is encouraging to read of the adventures of such an entrepeneurial couple and their "vigourous muddling" through the years of establishing their yoghurt company. Characters come alive and conversations quiver with the skill of the author's recounting. Highly recommended for light, inspirational reading.
