About the Book

Querencia is the story of finding, building and running an elegant inn. Starting with raw land, Mike and Mary Jo built the iconic small inn Querencia over a fourteen year adventure. After a year-long search, Mike and Mary Jo acquired forty acres near the town of Murphys in Calaveras County, California. There was no road, no power, no water, and no communications on site. The project was entirely built from scratch. It was a long, cripplingly costly slog. Querencia is now one of the highest rated (Yelp and Trip Advisor) inns in Gold Country. This book details the care, commitment, and consideration that goes into building and running the inn. Also included are some of the adventures and misadventures encountered along the way, including appearances and intrusions by smelly goats, crazy people, dancing squirrels, evangelical wasps and rattlesnakes. Also, by popular request, recipes and descriptions of some of the dishes and treats we make regularly are included in each chapter. For most readers, Querencia is fundamentally a cautionary tale; what might happen when you catch a dream and make it real. Be careful what you wish for.
About the Author: Mike Macfarlane was raised in Julian, a small town in San Diego county, California. In the second weekend of his military training in Norfolk, Virginia, he met Mary Jo LoCascio. She was raised in the small town of Suffolk, Virginia, and had just begun her teaching career when Mike derailed it. Courting over blueberry pancakes, they were engaged in a month, and married six months later. Mike and Mary Jo moved to Boulder, Colorado, back to Norfolk for sea duty, thence to Los Angeles, London, England, back to LA, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Ridgefield, Connecticut, Cupertino, California, San Francisco, and finally Murphys, California. Back to a small town again. Along the way they raised Duncan and Michela, each of whom has produced two beautiful grandchildren with their spouses. Two girls, and two boys, respectively. Mike has written three books before Querencia, all of them on software engineering in which field he has worked for almost 50 years. This is his first non-technical book.
