Overview
Think Crocodile Dundee with a Lawn MowerWhen a hapless Australian swaps his Manhattan cubicle for some gardening gloves, mowing lawns across the suburbs of Connecticut, there's just one small problem - he can't tell a weed from a hydrangea.Armed with nothing but relentless self-belief, and a franchise manual he probably should have read more closely, he gets to work with clients who know their gardens and yards better than he knows his own excuses.What follows is a string of mishaps and disasters that somehow, grow into something resembling a business, and a crash course in American suburbia, one lawn at a time.Part inspiring career change, part laugh-out-loud adventure, Yards and Stripes is for anyone who has ever leapt before they looked, and those who might enjoy watching an Aussie do it first.Get your copy of Yards and Stripes today and discover that the best stories, like the best gardens, grow in the most unlikely soil.
