Book note - Sheepish: Two Women, Fifty Sheep & Enough Wool To Save The Planet by Catherine Friend
Sheepish is about a married lesbian couple who start and maintain a sheep farm in Minnesota. The book describes mostly raising sheep and what is done with the wool produced. It also describes the author's ambivalence about farming, her marriage, and her purpose in life. The book describes the struggles and joys of working a small family farm that brings one back to nature. The chapters are short, informative, descriptive, and witty.
I learned alot about sheep and wool. I also learned about how to tolerate and manage ambivalence in one’s life. The story also describes a connection with nature and a back-to-the-earth way of life.
I recommend this book to people who are stuck in a mid-life crisis or looking for purpose and meaning in life. The book earns a 9 on a 10 point scale.
