Eddy Gilmore found himself on society’s fringe after being exiled from Corporate America. Despite years of higher education and exemplary service inside a cubicle’s pixelated world, he had no tangible or transferable skills to offer his community. Amazingly, failure was the door into tapping dreams and gifts that had long been ignored as impractical.

This true to life adventure is a pilgrimage into the real world, a place where neighbors make and produce things that sustain life and bring joy. When their eyes were opened to the talents all around them, Eddy and his wife discovered how to produce value themselves, and sank roots into the community. By working together, they are building a life they might never need to retire from.

Eddy Gilmore writes in the space between harvests and before dawn. He always assumed being a farmer or writer was impossible, as impractical as becoming an astronaut. Now doing both, he's surprised to discover that cultivating one's interests for the benefit of others comes as naturally as breathing.

Life-giving read!
Such a fantastic read! It gave me life. It taught me much about a sense of connection to our local community. I was simply inspired. To live out one's passions and giftings becomes a calling. There is nothing more satisfying than doing what you were created to do. This is a wonderfully told story about that.

5.0 out of 5 stars A window into a fascinating life shift -- so worth reading!

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Lit Up: Out of the cubicle and into the real world.' I felt like I was walking alongside Eddy as he leaves corporate America to find his way to what really light's his soul: community, small industry, freedom, and 'hands in dirt.' Eddy is so candid and vulnerable as he shares his journey to build a small urban farm (Tiny Farm Duluth). You definitely get the message that farming is not for the faint at heart but can be so, so worth it. I loved it so much, I just loaned it to a friend.

In his story, Eddy lets us follow him as he leaves the corporate world and discovers what truely gives him joy. His journey is a path filled with deep struggles but discoveries, as well, of life lived between the lines. Eddy surprizingly discovers the stories of others who left that soul-starving world and are traveling a different path as well. TYhis book tells of the struggle to find identity, meaning and peace outside the cubicles the world would trap us in. Well worth the time spent reading this!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024
I thoroughly loved this book! Lit Up is not just your average telling of a different way of life - it invites you to be a part of the journey - no matter your circumstance. Eddy moves you through his incredible looking glass of awe and wonder towards unnoticed beauty in the world. Inspiring, humorous, practical and so much more. If I had to choose one book to recommend this is the one!
