MARIETTA, GA - Author’s Tranquility Press is proud to present Try N Find Us, the compelling new memoir by Frederic Buse. This is the unforgettable account of two young factory workers who traded their apartment for a five-acre wooded plot, embarking on an eight-year odyssey that would test their spirit, humor, and resolve at every turn.
In 1961, Fred and Dot Buse saw a charming cobblestone cottage. What they found was a world without street numbers, private phones, or municipal water. Their new home on Turkey Hill Road came with a hand pump from 1928, a two-seater outhouse, and a property crisscrossed by the remnants of an old iron mine. With little more than naive enthusiasm, they began the arduous, beautiful work of making it theirs.
Page by page, Try N Find Us immerses readers in the tangible challenges and unexpected joys of their new life. From the shock of a stove that tingled with current to the labor of hand digging a spring, from the comedy of a collapsing garage door to the sobering discovery of a hunter’s bullet in their living room wall, Buse narrates each episode with vivid clarity. The couple endured a relentless four-year drought, learned to fell eighty-foot trees with ropes and prayers, and navigated the delicate politics of sharing a dwindling water supply with neighbors.
This memoir is more than a collection of rustic anecdotes. It is a profound reflection on transformation, community, and the timeless pursuit of building a home. It captures an era of tangible self-reliance, where solutions were forged from ingenuity and borrowed tools, and where neighbors appeared with tractors and shovels in a blizzard to dig out a snowbound tunnel.
Try N Find Us is a testament to the beauty of the struggle, the lessons learned from the land, and the memories forged in sweat and laughter. It is an essential read for anyone who has ever dreamed of a simpler life, only to discover its magnificent, messy, and deeply rewarding reality.
The book is now available in paperback and hardback on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
