When Lee, who is a cancer survivor, finds herself pregnant but her boyfriend isn’t as committed as she would expect him to be, she decides that she will raise the baby on her own. She has always wanted to be a mother, but after cancer was afraid it wouldn’t happen for her, so she’s not going to let this chance pass her by. Her small town is judge mental of an unmarried pregnant woman so she decides to pick up and move herself to North Carolina where she knows no one and start an Alpaca farm after meeting one at another farm and falling in love. She faces lots of obstacles as she learns to be a farmer, from nature’s challenges to predators and she never gives up. She keeps growing her farm and raising her son.
It was inspiring to see her tackle things head on and even when she was afraid, she didn’t back down. She persisted and persevered when most would have given up. I want to be her when I grow up!
Thanks to Apple Hill Farm Press and NetGalley for this eArc in exchange for my review.
