The chief shepherdess : lessons in life, love and farming / Zoe Colville. - London : Bantam, 2023. - 274 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 25 cm.
Zoe 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, Zoe is now a full-time farmer, business owner and activist. Here, she speaks vivaciously, humourously, and candidly about 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.
