As seen on BBC 2's hit TV show This Farming Life.

Emma Gray was just 23 when she moved to an isolated farm in Northumberland, becoming Britain's youngest solo shepherdess. In the seasons that followed, Emma fell in love with its rolling fields, sycamore trees and sturdy farmhouse, where she tended her sheep and trained her dogs - and even found romance along the way.

But when Emma finds herself suddenly alone again, heartbroken, mourning the loss of loved ones and recovering from a serious accident, she can't help but wonder if her isolated existence is still such a sensible idea. Even if she could recover, how could she make a proper living on Fallowlees Farm?

In her heart-warming new book, Emma reveals how she picks herself up from these setbacks to become one of the country's most successful trainers of Border Collies and how she - much to her surprise - finds true love and lasting happiness where she least expects it.

Written with warmth and humour, My Farming Life is testament to the healing power of nature and a joy for anyone who's ever dreamed of living closer to it.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It was interesting and extremely well performed. I hope the author will continue chronicling her life in a third book. And I hope the same person reads it.

I am a shepherd in the US...and could identify with much of the story. But I enjoyed the peek into the life of a Shepherd in the UK, which is quite different in some ways. We do not have tenent farming here, we have to either lease or buy land, often making it impossible to farm in general. Following Emma's journey was like a dream world, from her passion for her dogs to experiencing the wild landscape through her eyes. A gem of a book.

A treat to listen to, like wild honey

Engaging and honest, the farming life not romanticized, but charming nonetheless. Author's love for this life shines through all the challenges.

Honest and Charming

This 23-year-old's bad judgment and deadly mistakes were unforgivable; I quit by chapter 7. Many books entertain and enlighten; this is not among them.

Narrator is fantastic; author a screw-up.
