Summary

What happens when you swap 'I do' for pastures new?

When 23-year-old shepherdess Emma Gray breaks off her engagement, the chance to take over an isolated Northumberland farm seems just the fresh start she needs. But while the beautiful scenery certainly offers plenty of scope for contemplation, a night out with an eligible bachelor soon seems more remote than the farm itself. And once you add fugitive sheep and freak blizzards into the mix, Emma's dreams of a happy future at Fallowlees Farm quickly begin to fade.

Throughout the long nights of lambing, the highs and lows of the local sheepdog trials and the day-to-day chores of maintaining a large, ramshackle farm, Emma's collies are her most loyal companions. With Bill, Fly, Roy and Alfie by her side, she'll never really be alone.

Emma's remarkable first year at Fallowlees - the triumphs, the disasters, the heartbreak and the glimmer of romance on the horizon - is an inspiration for anyone who has ever dreamt of changing their life and starting all over again.

Loved every minute of One girl and her dogs, the narration was great but knowing Emma’s voice from the Tv would have preferred her reading it. More books please Emma

Simply loved it!!

I’ve just finished reading both of Emma’s audiobooks. Not much I can say apart from I love them!! Such lovely books. Funny, sad (I cried at least once!) and very eye opening. Thanks Emma

Comforting listening

This was a cosy audible.
I enjoyed the story and Emma’s journey about how she got to where she is now.
The narration was lovely and found her voice/accent soothing whilst listening to in the evenings before going to sleep

Not all fluffy and nice but nonetheless an enjoyable page turning read.
The Voice matched the story and has a pleasant Scottish lilt.
Looking forward to the second installment.

inspirational

As a farmer myself , this is a great story demonstrating how young people can still live the dream, when starting from nothing. So much courage shown here.
