"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.
PRAISE FOR THE CHIEF SHEPHERDESS 'A new breed of shepherdess
blazing a trail across social media, challenging outdated ideas
about the job and capturing the public's imagination along the way'
