If you've ever fantasised about quitting your job and starting over, this is the book for you — mostly because it reminds you that "the simple life" involves a lot more mud than advertised.
Alex has spent nearly forty years successfully ghosting adulthood and dodging anything resembling a responsibility. But her streak ends abruptly when an unexpected letter arrives, informing her she's the proud owner of a crumbling sheep farm in the wettest, wildest corner of Wales. This was definitely not on her vision board.
Now, Alex's social life consists of arguing with a stubborn Welsh terrier and a frantic one-sided relationship with The Idiot's Guide to Farming. Meanwhile, the local villagers have officially made her their favourite new soap opera.
Between trying to keep the barn from falling down and uncovering why on earth she was left this place in the first place, Alex discovers that her heart is wandering into uncharted territory. Will she flee back to civilisation, or will she trade her heels for wellies and realise she's actually right where she belongs?
