Coming from a rich, lavish background of posh country clubs and a luxurious life in the big city, this family of four decides to leave everything behind to return to nature, and embrace simplicity. “Only in Iola” follows the story of a mother Shanalee, father Perry, son Braydon, and their beloved dog Sadee Dei, as they decide to abandon their bustling yet stressful city life, and relocate to a remote ranch out in the country. Together, the family deals with adversity and challenges as they embrace change while learning how to work and flourish on their ranch. Until now, their lifestyle has been a life of high-end spas, dinner in lavish 5-star restaurants, and driving luxury cars. But all of that stands to change when the family decides to leave the 11th most populated city in the world, a Texas metropolis, for a quiet and peaceful existence in Iola, Texas.
About Iola, Texas
With a population of only 300 people, to say Iola is small would be a huge understatement. Away from the busy city, Iola seems like the perfect location for some peace and quiet, for a change of pace, and for teaching their young son the true value of nature. However, while Iola may, in many ways, present itself as idyllic, the family is forced to deal with its fair share of living remotely without sommeliers, waiters and the individuals who made their life an easy one. So far, life in the big city meant they had everything they could wish for at their disposal, where everything was just a short car ride away. In Iola, however, there’s no such thing as putting in a quick call to the right people or being at the designated place quickly. Here, the family must learn how to be resilient and strong, just like the people of Iola.
