The Lambs
The Lambs: My Father, a Farm, and the Gift of a Flock of Sheep | Carole George
2 posts | 1 read | 15 to read
An enchanting bookplease read. Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE; Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace In this touching memoir about the relationship between father, daughter, and animals, Carole explores life after adopting thirteen pet Karakul lambs. Throughout her years with the lambs and her aging father, she comes to realize the distinct personality of each creature, and to understand more fully the almost spiritual bond between man and animals. This is a beautiful book in every way that will touch the hearts of readers everywhere. In her new book, The Lambs, Carole George shares the fulfillment she has experienced over years tending a flock of sheep. I hope that this book will inspire readers to become more compassionate toward the living beings deprived of the many privileges we humans enjoy. His Holiness The Dalai Lama The Lambs is beautifully written, and right on target as an example of the naturalpastoralworld where we may achieve the fullness of human experience. Our descendants may gravitate toward the equivalent of [Caroles] Virginia farm. Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University

This memoir of a woman that decides to give up her law practice, move to a farm, and raise a flock of sheep Is both beautiful and poignant. She and her elderly father discover so much about themselves and living quietly with nature by immersing themselves in the lives of The Lambs. Any animal lover needs to read this book!

This wraps up my #booked2018 quarter #aboutoutdoorsorsetoutdoors
