When Life Collapsed, the Garden Grew

Picture standing in your kitchen at midnight, hands stained crimson from pitting eight quarts of cherries, a lone firefly blinking hypnotically against your bedroom screen. Your marriage has ended. Your career has vanished. Your bank account shows $40 for the week's groceries. This is where transformation begins-not in triumph, but in the quiet decision to feed yourself well anyway. When Robin Mather lost everything in a single devastating week in 2009, she retreated to a 650-square-foot Michigan cottage with a poodle, a parrot, and a radical commitment: to eat beautifully on almost nothing, sourcing food within 100 miles. What sounds like deprivation became something else entirely-a master class in how abundance hides in unexpected places, how community forms around shared meals, and how the simple act of preserving strawberries can preserve your sanity too.
