Synopsis
In this searing, authentic memoir, Elizabeth is hired to herd goats on a remote mountain farm in the South of France where she carves out a life for herself without heat, running water, or even a good grasp of French. Far from her younger life as a New England preppie and Oregon hippie, the challenges of farm work daunt her. She befriends an Australian shepherd, reflects on her spirituality, and muses on the man she left behind. As she grows stronger, Elizabeth faces her self-doubt while maintaining her humor, eking fun wherever she can. When tragedy strikes Elizabeth's adopted family, she summons belief in herself and becomes the leader they desperately need.

Review
"Rich with history, Murray's literary and [amusing] philosophical reflections give the memoir substance" Publishers Weekly "A rich, lucid debut memoir... Murray writes with grace, complexity and humor... a rare balance of light and darkness...you will weep and you will laugh." Kirkus Reviews "New and Noteworthy" Seattle Times "Murray writes with humor and courage...as adventurous as 'Eat, Pray Love'...[with]Cheryl Strayed's 'Wild' thrown in." Yakima Herald "Captures the essence of coming of age." Kitsap Sun "Flecked with humor and bittersweet candor." Bellingham Herald
