There, Wade discovers the simple life isn't so simple. Battling blizzards, bloodthirsty critters, and nosy neighbors equipped with night-vision goggles, Wade and his spirit, sanity, relationship, and Kenneth Cole pointy-toed boots are sorely tested with humorous and humiliating frequency. And though he never does learn where his well water actually comes from or how to survive without Kashi cereal, he does discover some things in the woods outside his knotty-pine cottage in Saugatuck, Michigan, that he always dreamed of but never imagined he'd find-happiness and a home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eAt Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream\u003c\/i\u003e is a sidesplitting and heartwarming look at taking a risk, fulfilling a dream, and finding a home-with very thick and very dark curtains. \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWADE ROUSE\u003c\/b\u003e is the critically acclaimed author ofthe memoirs \u003ci\u003eAmerica's Boy, Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAt Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream\u003c\/i\u003e and editor of the upcoming humorous dog anthology \u003ci\u003eI'm Not the Biggest Bitch in This Relationship!\u003c\/i\u003eHe is a humor columnist for \u003ci\u003eMetrosource\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
