Product Details:

A crazy book about building a log home in the countryside of Montana, with little or no money and the love within that family. A heartwarming look at the hard times we had, how we pulled together, and made the best of what we did have.

If you've ever considered packing up and making a new start in life, then you'll enjoy this faith-building, true story about a little family that decided to move from the city and build a log home in the mountains of Montana.

Building and maintaining a successful home and family in today's world requires a foundation of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, and a willingness to work. As you read from the pages of my journals, written as it happened, you will experience with my family the trials, challenges, and successes of building our home and family in Montana.

I chose the title "Big Skies and Cowpies" to emphasize that despite the beauty of Montana, building a home and family here can require dealing with the occasional "cowpie". 

About The Author:

Pennie Wise says: "I was born fat and stayed that way. But under all this cush is a caring and crazy girl who adventures out with a little family to Montana and learns more about life than I could have ever imagined."

Born in Idaho, she learned to travel and make friends. Her father was a logger, so she quickly adapted to life in Montana. She goes on to say "I grew up knowing that you don't get everything you want, and have to work hard for anything you DO get. My life has been hard but trials make you appreciate the good times and be more compassionate and caring to others. Nothing beats having someone love you."

"I'm over the hill they say, and sliding toward the mid 50's but then there is an excuse for your memory, driving, and wrinkles. All in all, I love life."
