A touching new memoir, Our Chicken House: A Family Story by Robert Rathbone deGolian, is now available, offering readers a nostalgic and imaginative journey into a childhood filled with family, farm life, and unforgettable adventures.
Blending heartfelt storytelling with whimsical charm, Our Chicken House introduces readers to a young boy growing up in a lively household with 13 siblings, devoted parents, beloved animals, and—most memorably—over 600 chickens. Through the eyes of the author and his grandson, Cooper, the story unfolds as a series of vivid recollections that celebrate curiosity, resilience, and the bonds that shape us.
At the heart of the book is a delightful premise: the author’s childhood belief that he could communicate with the animals—particularly a remarkable chicken named Miss Henny. This imaginative thread carries readers through humorous, touching, and sometimes profound moments, from naming hundreds of chickens to orchestrating a full animal parade for his father’s birthday.
More than just a collection of stories, Our Chicken House explores timeless themes of family unity, compassion for animals, life lessons learned the hard way, and the power of storytelling across generations. It invites readers of all ages to reflect on their own childhood memories while embracing the wonder and innocence of youth.
“This book is about more than growing up on a farm,” says deGolian. “It’s about connection—between people, animals, and generations—and the stories that stay with us long after childhood ends.”
Perfect for families, educators, and anyone who appreciates uplifting, character-driven narratives, Our Chicken House stands out as a warm and engaging read that bridges imagination and reality.
The book is now available in paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats through major retailers, including Amazon.
