Non-Fiction Memoir
Jessie Knadler was a New York City girl, through and
through. An editor for a splashy women's magazine, she
splurged on Miu Miu, partied hard, lived for Kundalini
yoga, and dated a man-boy whose complexion was creamier
than her own. Circling the drain both personally and
professionally, Jessie definitely wouldn't have described
herself as "happy"; more like caustically content. Then one
day, she was assigned a story about an annual rodeo in the
badlands of Eastern Montana. There, she met a
twenty-five-year-old bull rider named Jake. He voted
Republican and read Truck Trader. He listened to
Garth Brooks. He owned guns. And Jessie suddenly found
herself blindsided by something with which she was
painfully unfamiliar: a genuinely lovable disposition. In
fact, Jake radiated such optimism and old-school
gentlemanliness that Jessie impulsively ditched Manhattan
for an authentic existence, and an authentic man. Almost
overnight, she was canning and sewing, making jerky,
chopping firewood, and raising chickens. And all the while
one question was ringing in the back of her head: "What the
!#*$ have I done with my life?" A hilarious true-life
love story, Rurally Screwed reveals what happens to
a woman who gives up everything she's ever known and
wanted-job security, money, her professional network, access
to decent Thai food-to live off the grid with her one true
love (and dogs and horses and chickens), and asks, is it
worth it? The answer comes amid war, Bible clubs, and
moonshine.
