* TheSimpleLifeIsSimple: A subversion: Papa Monroe buys a farm in the South basically as a hobby to pass the time while he works on writing. But when he dies, Ada can't find anyone to buy the land, and would starve were it not for Ruby's help, and the work never ends. In the book, Ada wearily suggests that they'll rest when snowbound in winter, whereupon Ruby promptly lists out ten tasks for that season alone.

A 1997 novel by Charles Frazier (made into a [[TheFilmOfTheBook film]] in 2003 starring Creator/NicoleKidman, Creator/ReneeZellweger, and Jude Law) which tells the story of Ada Monroe, who moves from Charleston to rural Cold Mountain with her aging (and ailing) father for his health, and W.P. Inman, a terse but goodhearted young man. Just as Ada and Inman seem to be developing a relationship, Inman leaves to fight for the Confederate Army and, after being wounded in battle, decides to desert and walk through often hostile territory to get back home to Ada. Meanwhile, Ada's father has died and she must learn how to survive on her own.
