"Jack's Farm is about love in marriage, love for God, love of life. It speaks to that part of our hearts which modern life encourages us to neglect. I truly could not put it down." -- Maggie Wheeler, author of The Lost Villages Mystery series

Jack's Farm is a testament to one special man's "desire of the heart" -- and the fulfillment of his dream on a long-abandoned property. In an old farmhouse with no power or running water, Jack and Joan Earle entered into "pioneer" life, just as the world was meeting the new millennium.
Interwoven with heart-warming descriptions of the challenges and blessings of old ways meeting new, Jack's Farm is the story of a quiet, methodical technician and a spontaneous, impulsive artist who could have been separated by their differences, but who chose instead to find the value in them.
In her gentle recounting of husband Jack Earle's life, so intrinsically entwined with her own, Joan presents her readers with compelling lessons of powerful faith and evolving love . . . of incomparable loss and the journey toward healing.
About the Author
For fifteen years, Joan Levy Earle and husband Jack Earle owned and operated The Sanctuary, a book and stationery store, situated in the historic Kyte Building in Cornwall, Ontario.
Joan's first career involved teaching her unique style of baton twirling in Scarborough, Alexandria and Cornwall. Over the years, she encouraged hundreds of young ladies to develop their poise and confidence in the majorette schools that she founded.
Joan is an accomplished painter in oils, with subject matter ranging from landscapes to spiritual pieces, and her work is currently represented in Kingston, Ontario, at the Agnes Etherington Gallery.
The most poignant and personal of Joan's published works, Jack's Farm is the author's eighth book. She is a regular contributor to the Sacred Heart Messenger magazine, and to Cornwall's Standard Freeholder, where her "Hopelines" column has been a popular weekly feature for many years.
