Stories worth telling never get old!

True stories of off-grid life, family, heartache and starting over.

I’m Anne!

Welcome!

I’m Anne Lafferty.

I never intended to become a writer. I was much too busy!

For years my family lived off-grid at Core Hollow Farm in the woods and hills with cattle, pets, wild visitors and more adventures than we bargained for!

Now my life is quite different. We all go through changes, and losses we never expected.

Today I write books and blogs about country life, growing older with humor, surviving life’s heartbreaks, and finding joy again.

Nothing stays the same. But, if you’ve ever loved a place, an animal, or a life you eventually had to leave…

I’d love to hear your story! Please leave a comment, or write to me at corehollowbooks@gmail.com

you’re among friends.
