Wiley, $25

Angela Miller’s memoir is a rousing tale of hard work and brave ambition. With great candor, she tells of her transformation from high-powered New York City literary agent to goat farmer extraordinaire. It all began with the innocent purchase of a 19th-century Vermont farmhouse. But Miller, not one to think small, promptly abandoned all notions of hobby farming and set her sights on building a world-class cheese company. Now, after just six years in business, her creamery, Consider Bardwell Farm, is crafting some of the best artisanal cheeses in the country. The book includes a smattering of delectable recipes to help quell the inevitable cheese cravings.
