You love memoirs where someone learns to see their daily struggles differently through research and curiosity.
You appreciate humour about the realities of rural life that doesn't romanticise or dismiss it.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a practical how-to guide on starting your own sheep farm.
You want a misery memoir or a tale of total farming failure and redemption.
You're not interested in the environmental angle and just want a cosy farming story.

About this book

After fifteen years of farming, Catherine Friend finds herself exhausted. While shepherding is one of the oldest professions, it has become increasingly difficult. The number of sheep in America has declined by 90 percent over the last ninety years. Just as Friend considers leaving the profession, she discovers that sheep may be too valuable to abandon. The book explores the history of sheep, the importance of small farms, and the potential benefits—for both people and the planet—of embracing wool production and sheep farming.
