"In the book, let us take you behind the scenes of daily new experiences on the farm. There are the adventures, going from self-professed 'townies' to farmhands overnight; the Mishaps, like shearing sheep in a way that costs more than the price for the wool; and the lessons, such as never turn your back on a flock of sheep – or put simply 'always close the gate.'"
