Summary
Life is complicated and challenging. There is beauty and heartache...and somehow also beauty IN the heartache. In a timely message, Tara Couture, the author of "Radiance of the Ordinary", communicates how she processes and manages to embrace it all.
On Tara's Slowdown Farmstead in Canada, she has dealt with the mundane -- from an ornery cow to issues obtaining raw milk -- to the unthinkable -- including the untimely death of her daughter. Tara reminds us that, amidst it all, life is still beauty-full.
