An interesting book detailing Greensfelder's year of shepherding. Her descriptions of her year are very visual and it is easy to see while the setting is so beautiful and the job interesting, shepherding is not for the faint of heart. Although not yet 21 years old, she took over an entire herd of sheep and the upkeep of the farm. I truly enjoyed hearing about the day to day duties that must have been exhausting and the interactions with her very generous neighbors. There are descriptions of the harsh realities of shepherding lambs for food. so be aware. Overall a good read and very amazing true story..

very interesting autobiography about an interesting person. would recommend this work. 4 stars. tysm for the arc.

I love the title of this book! It describes exactly what Liese became when she bit off more than she could chew and ended up running a farm and tending sheep by herself for one unintended year. Yes, she had help from kind and confident neighbors, many who became lifelong friends, but the ultimate burden of keeping the animals alive and the farm running fell on her shoulders. This is an autobiographical look at one year in the author’s life and is told with much skill and candor, extolling the joys, while also sharing the stress and difficulties she faced. I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable and educational read and would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to take a peek into a life that is foreign to most of us. Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to enjoy this book.
