From the bestselling author of the popular Maine Stories, comes a new collection of stories around running a bed-and-breakfast in mountains of Maine.

Lew-Ellyn Hughes always dreamed of leaving city life behind for the rugged beauty of western Maine. That dream became reality when she discovered a nineteenth-century farmhouse in Stratton, a small town nestled among lakes and mountains, and transforms it into Diamond Corner, a cozy five-room bed-and-breakfast.

In Farmhouse on the Edge of Town, Hughes shares fifteen years of heartwarming and humorous stories from life at the inn, introducing a memorable cast of hardy Mainers, eccentric guests, and beloved family members. With trademark wit and insight, she recounts the joys and challenges of small-town living—from opening a bakery in her kitchen to wrangling a runaway bull. Rich with charm, laughter, and the spirit of rural Maine, these stories will delight anyone who has ever fallen in love with a small town.
