This book chronicles the real-life adventures of a middle-aged, first-time, New Zealand woman farmer. How she coped with fresh air, country noises, perplexed neighbors and a varied selection of animals (and how they coped with her) makes a diverting, often downright funny, story.
Lyn McConchie is a friend of mine. Having said that, her books about life on her sheep ranch are hysterically funny. If you like humor, or live on a farm, these books are a great read.
