I Came for a Fresh Start and Stayed for the Farmer Who Changed Everything.
Picture this: it is 6:47 AM on a Tuesday in March, and I am standing knee-deep in Kansas mud, holding a wrench I do not know how to use, staring at a tractor that just made a sound like a dying whale. My name is Katherine, and thirty-six hours ago I was wearing a twelve-hundred-dollar blazer, closing million-dollar deals in a Manhattan skyscraper. Now I am wearing boots I bought at a farm supply store, my hair is full of something that might be straw or might be animal-related, and I have just realized that the only thing I know about tractors is that they are big and yellow. Oh, and I am crying. Not elegant crying. Ugly, snorting, "what have I done with my life" crying. And that is when I hear it — the rumble of an old pickup truck, the kind that sounds like it has opinions, and a voice that drawls, "Well, honey, you have picked one heck of a morning to break a Deere." I look up, and there she is. Eleanor. Taller than me, covered in dust, with a grin that makes the sunrise look like a flashlight. And in that exact moment, with my freshly divorced heart, my abandoned corporate life, and my very dead tractor, I have absolutely no idea that this woman is about to turn every plan I ever had into confetti.
