Being a Quaker and a semi-practicing Buddhist, I really wanted to enjoy this, but it feels too much like the author is trying to WRITE SERIOUS WORDS, and not enough like she is telling her story. I just could not get very deep into this book. ( )

I actually loved this book. It's not something I would normally read (okay, the Buddhist part is), but I ran across it in the library and found it to be very interesting. You don't see many books about sheparding. It's worth reading if you're into the simple life or sheep. ( )

As I recall, I didn't care for this book too much. Priscilla said she was about as accurate with what it means to be a sheppherdess as she was about being either Quaker or Buddhist. Not very.
