    leaving both her marriage and her old home behind.
    But fate has more in mind for Gwynn than just a new home. The
    farmhouse, tucked away in the Green Mountains of Vermont where even GPS can’t find
    it, is also a step back in time. And Slate Peck, the farm’s caretaker and part owner,
    is tied to Gwynn’s destiny in ways she never expected.

    Interview with Gwynn
    Powell

    Tell us about yourself. What are you like?
    I love animals, which is why I became a vet. I have two pets
    of my own, a dog and a cat. I like to seize the moment and I believe in living for
    today.
    What do you think is your strongest point? I’m pretty good at
    “rolling with the punches” and turning to do whatever it is life hands me.
    Do you have a weakness?
    (If so, what do you think it is? What does your lover think it is? What does your
    enemy think it is?)
    I sometimes jump into things without thinking things through.
    I’m pretty sure others would agree.
    What drives you to do
    the things you do? What makes you want to be the “good guy?”
    I trust my gut. A lot. So I tend to go with it. I want to be
    content in my life, I want that for the people I love also.
    What’s your favorite guilty
    pleasure?
    Hmm, I really like baking. It’s something I’m new to and still
    learning. I baked muffins the other day. Next up, I might try some bread. Sky’s
    the limit!
    If you didn’t know how
    old you were how old would you be?
    A lot older I guess. Sometimes I feel like I’ve been around for
    the better part of forever.
    A biography has been written
    about you. What do you think the title would be in six words or less?
    The woman who found timeless love.
    If money were not an object,
    where would you most like to live?
    Oh, I love where I’ve moved to. The farm in Vermont is a dream come true.
    I wouldn’t want to be anywhere but right here.
    What song would best describe
    your life?
    Hmm, probably “You and I will meet again” by Tom Petty.
    If you were a tool, what
    would people use you to do?
    Let’s see… I would be mixer. A hand mixer used to blend things
    together and make something delicious.
    Picture yourself as a
    store. Considering your personality and lifestyle, what type of products would be
    sold there?
    Oh, that one’s easy. I’d be an Agway, with lots of food and supplies
    for pets and farm animals.
    As a child, what was your
    favorite thing about school?
    I loved reading—my favorite books were about animals.
    Tell us an embarrassing
    story that has to do with a pet. If you have no pets, a story about a significant
    other will do. ^_^
    My cat, Miss Kitty, once jumped onto my head while I was driving
    and nearly caused an accident.
    If you came with a warning
    label, what would it say?
    Do not shake.
    Please Fill in the Blanks
    I love pizza with mushrooms and peppers.
    I’m always ready for anything!
    When I’m alone, I tend to daydream a lot. I also talk to my
    pets and the animals on the farm
    .
    You’d never be able to tell, but I’m pretty tough when I need to be.
    If I had a halo it would be silver and very sparkly.
    If I could fly I’d do it.
    I can never leave the farm because my heart (and love) is here.
