"Be inspired by one who has lived and breathed dirt." Kim Fraser, The Hobbit Hideaway.

A few years ago Atulya K Bingham was a teacher who couldn’t even bang a nail in. That all changed when one day she ran out of money and began camping in a field. The country was Turkey. The field was a new world; one without taps, toilets or light switches. Scorpions and snakes skulked under every rock, and wild boar roamed the forest next door. Within weeks the dirt worked itself under her skin.

This is Atulya K Bingham's true story of finding the ancient soul of her land, and the incredible relationship she developed with it. A one-woman adventure into the Turkish wild, where trees whisper, nights haunt, and wild women prowl.

"Gingerly, I picked my way through the tall stalks flinching at the possibility of vipers. I was terrified of snakes, just terrified. Staring at the huge thorn bushes - great monsters baring tough green claws - I started to feel nauseous. My mind became a city at rush hour. It flashed anxious thoughts at me like traffic signals. Had it really come to this? Bumming in a Turkish field?
​
And then it happened - the meeting that would alter my destiny within this patch of Mediterranean scrubland. The encounter that would change me. Forever."
"I loved reading this book if just for the eloquent depictions of starting a homestead from scratch. You won’t get hippy-dippy tree hugging instead, you will be entertained and mentored on the trials and joys of building a homestead while bonding with and appreciating the nature around you."

"The way Atulya writes is captivating. Over the last two years, I had been struggling to concentrate for any length of time in order to read a book. I was so gripped by this book that I actually read it in a day!" J Bilton on Amazon
