A Horse-Drawn Sickle Bar Cutter: Finding My Road to Felicity

What if the circumstances you were born into didn’t define your future?

Robert Merrick Fuller grew up in a 150-year-old farmhouse in Ludlow, Massachusetts, where his family ran a struggling dairy delivery business—a way of life that was rapidly fading by the 1950s. Raised in an environment with little emphasis on achievement, he faced early academic failures and an uncertain future. However, he refused to be defined by his beginnings.

Through perseverance, self-discovery, and an unexpected journey into the culinary world, Fuller forged a path to success and lasting happiness—his own Felicity. This book is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of rewriting one’s story. It weaves together history, from his Mayflower ancestor Edward Fuller to the hardworking generations of dairy farmers in his family, ultimately leading to his own pursuit of purpose and fulfillment.

For those who have ever questioned whether they can overcome obstacles and build a life of happiness, this book serves as an inspiring reminder that it is possible.
