Publisher's Summary
The beloved actress and star of One Tree Hill, White Collar, and Lethal Weapon, Hilarie Burton, tells the inspiring story of leaving Hollywood for a radically different kind of life in upstate New York with her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan - a celebration of community, family, and the value of hard work in small town America.
While Hilarie Burton’s hectic lifestyle as an actress in New York and Los Angeles gave her a comfortable life, it did not fulfill her spiritually or emotionally. After the birth of their first son, she and her husband, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the star of The Walking Dead, decided to make a major change: they bought a working farm in Rhinebeck, New York, and began a new chapter in their lives.
The Rural Diaries chronicles her inspiring story of farm life: chopping wood, making dandelion wine, building chicken coops. Burton looks back at her transition from urban to country living - discovering how to manage a farm while raising her son and making friends with her new neighbors. She mixes charming stories of learning to raise alpacas and buying and revitalizing the town’s beloved candy store, Samuel’s Sweet Shoppe with good friend Paul Rudd and his wife, Julie, with raw observations on the ups and downs of marriage and her struggles with infertility. Burton also includes delicious recipes that can be made with fresh ingredients at home.
Burton’s charisma, wide eyed attitude, and fortitude - both internal and physical - propels this moving story of transformation and self-discovery. The Rural Diaries honors the values and lifestyle of small-town America and offers inspiration for anyone longing to embark on their own unconventional journey.

great heartfelt stories full personality
love this book. I have known of Hilarie Burton since my early OTH days, and loved JDM since seeing him on screen as Denny. this was such a thoughtful glimpse into a depth of personal journeys and strife entangled with grit. I loved the whole thing, start to finish and got lost in the wonder that this was someone's life and story to share. I am hopeful for more recipes, some dandelion wine in my future, and a cliff hanger about Martha Stuart! I'm glad to have downloaded this book as an easy listen, and enjoyable 3 day long weekend binge.

Unexpected
This book was not what I expected at all. But I was so pleasantly surprised. The recipes, the stories, the human experience just spoke to me. Hearing her fertility journey broke my heart, going through my own at the moment- it also gave me companionship. A must read in my opinion

Narration was EVERYTHING
I would have loved this if I had read it in paperback form but listening to Hilarie Burtons narration was EVERYTHING. I cried everytime her voice cracked. Hilarie conveyed her pain and sadness along with joy and happines so well. Very good book absolutely loved it!

Relatability
The unique nature in which Burton’s voice cracks for a millisecond but it conveys the emotion that is so often hard to say out loud and covered with humour. In a world where it’s hard to trust I felt like someone else would understand me.

a visit with an old friend
Listening to Hilarie recount her story I laughed, I wept, and I learned. The way she talks make you feel like your catching up with an old friend. I've been a fan since OTH and this made me appreciate her even more... as a mother....a wife.... a daughter and a friend

Emotional in the most beautiful sense.
You will not be disappointed. Every emotion is explored in this read. Hilarie reading her own work spilling her heart on your ear leaves you feeling full of gratitude and resets your soul.

Beautiful story of Love
I am so sad that it's over! Listening to Hilary felt like I finally wasn't alone in the challenges of life, love, and raising a family. She speaks beautifully and I couldn't stop listening. Wonderful stories, great book! Hope there's a sequel.
