Pip and Shannon dreamed of living the good life. They wanted to slow down, grow their own food and spend more time with the people they love.

Pip sleeps in a woodshed, feasts under a Tuscan sun, works like a tractor in Calabria and, eventually, finds her dream, though it's not at all the one she expected.
