No Going Back

No Going Back: Journey to Mother’s Garden is the inspirational true story of Martin Kirby and his family, who left the English weather and rat race behind for a new life on an organic farm in Northern Spain.

The Kirby family fell in love with Mother’s Garden the moment they saw it: the mottled walls of Mediterranean orange and yellow; the panoramic vistas of the Catalonian countryside: the patchwork land of vines, olive and fig trees. This is their account of the struggles that lay ahead, from the race against time to buy the property to the steep learning curves of speaking Catalan and running a farm. It is a funny, heartfelt memoir about an ordinary family starting over, about gambling everything and making it work.
