Helen Nearing (1904–1995) and Scott Nearing (1883–1983) were well-known American back-to-the-landers who wrote extensively about their experience living what they termed "the good life". Helen had grown up in an economically comfortable family of Theosophists, and as a young woman had a romantic relationship with Jiddu Krishnamurti. Many sympathetic journalists and admiring friends have published articles about the Nearings. But another view of their lives was written by their sometime neighbor Jean Hay Bright, titled Meanwhile, Next Door to the Good Life (BrightBerry Press, 2003). wiki
