Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

"I grab the motionless lamb, which is frighteningly slippery, and scramble on my feet, swinging its little body around to help it breathe. I see its chest move, then it sneezes and starts breathing. It's stunned by its delivery experience. As am I. I'm high on adrenaline. Tears are streaming down my face. I pop the lamb down on the ground and start frantically rubbing its tiny body... Looking back, I can see that this was one of the first moments of questioning whether I'm truly cut out for farming and realising that the answer might be...yes"

Zoë Colville spent years in a fancy hair salon with a long list of clients, living on cigarettes, croissants, and a shoestring. It was everything she'd ever wanted. But when an unexpected and overwhelming loss caused her life to shift unexpectedly, she found herself on a different path. One where the only use for a hairdryer is warming new-born lambs; where the cycle of life on a farm gives new meaning on purpose, and where nature is both a strict teacher and a balm to soothe the pressures of everyday life.

Alongside her long-term boyfriend, Zoë is now a full-time farmer, business owner and activist. In this memoir, she speaks vivaciously, humourously, and candidly about the lessons learned along the way, from mental health, social media and identity to surviving as an entrepreneur in a shifting economy. And through those lessons - in love, loss, and lambing - discovering something even more important: that it's always the right time to take a bold step and try something new.

Love this raw honest account of life from Zoe. I was one moment hooting with laughter the next crying real tears. Even if you’re not into farming you will enjoy this relatable book. I highly recommend it

Fresh, Funny, all round fun book

I’m one of those people on Instagram that find Zoë’s content an escape, a learning platform, a space of honesty with a good mix of joy and pure unfiltered reality of farm life and life in general.
I’ve really enjoyed this audiobook, which has given me a little more context of her story, as well as going deeper into the ups and downs of farm life.
Thank you Zoë, for sharing so much of yourself and your experience, with vulnerability and openness.

Thank you Zoë

Truly honest listen, a mixture of highs and lows. Meaning a laughing on the train out loud moment and an eyes filling with tears taking you by surprise. It's great to hear such an honest story told with both humour and heart

Loved it and hopefully for a sequel
