N2 - "Jake Keiser was living the life in Tampa, Florida, running a high-powered PR firm and juggling drink dates, shopping sprees, and charity galas. But at age thirty-eight, following a failed marriage, a series of miscarriages, and a still-blistering breakup, she began to suffer from extreme anxiety. Hit with the realization that no amount of Botox could fill the hole in her heart, she decided to make the impulse purchase of a lifetime. She bought a farm in rural Mississippi, packed up her Gucci sandals, and moved to the middle of nowhere. As the new owner of a farm, and with only one bar of cell service, Jake begins her search for inner peace. Through trial by fire, she learns to fix a well, haul wood, shoot a gun, and care for over seventy-five animals -- with her own signature style, playing spa music to her goats and naming her hens after fashion designers. The only problem is, she still can't figure out how to truly care for herself. Unable to escape the accumulated pain of her past, Jake hits rock bottom. With nowhere left to run, she's finally forced to confront a bracing reality. The farm won't save her; only she can save herself"-- ER -
