Back in 2014, my husband and I risked everything to move to New Zealand to start a new life together. A tiny house on wheels was never part of our original plans but I can't imagine what our lives would be like if we hadn't built the South Island Tiny House. Although we didn't know it at the time, our tiny house journey began when we left our hectic lives in Boston with two suitcases each and our passports. But only a few months into our new lives in Christchurch, we were ready to call it quits and head home. We had moved all that way to end up living paycheck to paycheck in an overpriced, moldy flat. But then, as luck would have it we remembered the tiny house movement. Before the move, we loved watching tiny house videos on Youtube and found so much joy in imagining various tiny house layouts. So after taking stock of the risks, we decided to throw caution to the wind and put our life savings to work, and decided to build a tiny house together. Committing to building a fourteen-square-meter tiny house turned out to be just the beginning! We had no clue that our tiny house would lead to job opportunities, a Youtube Channel, new friends, interviews and features on the DailyMail Australia, the Otago Daily Times and Stuff.co.nz, a side hustle building tiny house trailers, and now this book! This is your chance to read the intimate details of how we stumbled through our struggles and found joy through building and living in the South Island Tiny House.

A sweet, funny romance set in rural New Zealand. Nina is 36, single, and running out of time to start a family. Leaving behind her advertising job, and the city, she moves into a small coastal town, ready to grow organic veggies, de-stress, and preserve her fertility. Now, she only has to find the right guy–and it can't be her odd, new neighbour who doesn't want kids. No matter how hot he is. This time, Nina is determined to follow the plan, not her heart. Jay is used to solitary life. After his father's death, he tries to keep the farm running, even if he's more comfortable with the veggies than people. But who needs social skills? In the backside of Raglan, nothing ever happens. Until a cute, Finnish blonde moves into the neighbouring lot, in a ridiculous tiny house. Can Jay work out his issues and take a chance on the most exotic thing that's ever walked into his life? Work, life, love and all those other big questions that vex us are tackled in this humorous and thought-provoking book, which will stay with you long after you reach the end.

Capturing the history and beauty of a key destination in the land of the Golden Isles... Eighty miles south of Savannah lies St. Simons Island, one of the most beloved seaside destinations in Georgia and home to some twenty thousand year-round residents. In Island Time, Jingle Davis and Benjamin Galland offer a fascinating history and stunning visual celebration of this coastal community. Prehistoric people established some of North America's first permanent settlements on St. Simons, leaving three giant shell rings as evidence of their occupation. People from other diverse cultures also left their mark: Mocama and Guale Indians, Spanish friars, pirates and privateers, British soldiers and settlers, German religious refugees, and aristocratic antebellum planters. Enslaved Africans and their descendants forged the unique Gullah Geechee culture that survives today. Davis provides a comprehensive history of St. Simons, connecting its stories to broader historical moments. Timbers for Old Ironsides were hewn from St. Simons's live oaks during the Revolutionary War. Aaron Burr fled to St. Simons after killing Alexander Hamilton. Susie Baker King Taylor became the first black person to teach openly in a freedmen's school during her stay on the island. Rachel Carson spent time on St. Simons, which she wrote about in The Edge of the Sea. The island became a popular tourist destination in the 1800s, with visitors arriving on ferries until a causeway opened in 1924. Davis describes the challenges faced by the community with modern growth and explains how St. Simons has retained the unique charm and strong sense of community that it is known for today. Featuring more than two hundred contemporary photographs, historical images, and maps, Island Time is an essential book for people interested in the Georgia coast. A Friends Fund publication.
