Dora left for college when her sister Cass discovered she was pregnant and everything became about her and the baby while Dora was completely ignored. She did good in college at first but then she met Leo, who introduced her to parties and drugs. Her grades slip father and farther and finally she needs an escape. She inherits the sheep farm that's been in her family for generations, living on 50 acres in the Yorkshire wilds and raising a rare endangered breed of sheep. She finds that she's happy on her own and living a comfortable slightly lonely existence. But when her parents decide to remodel and Cass and her nephew Thor need a place to stay, her refuge turns to chaos, especially when a suspiciously familiar man who claims to be Leo's brother shows up with Thor as his tutor.
I loved this glimpse of life on a sheep farm. It sounds like the perfect kind of life for an introvert like me. But I just wanted to shake Cass. Her attitude toward everything was just irritating. The reasons behind her attitude are explained later in the book but she's still a clueless socialite with no concept of where money comes from. I didn't like Thor at first, but the longer he was on the farm the more he grew on me. I'm so glad this hardworking farmer got her happily ever after.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
