Trafficking in Sheep
Author: Anne Barclay Priest
"What makes Trafficking in Sheep so special is that Anne Priest, a product of private school and the Off-Broodway stage, becomes a real farmer—a dirt-under-the-nails, manure between the toes, sheep farmer. We follow her two-decades-long learning curve, with plenty of honest bungles, as she delivers lambs and puppies, worms ewes and rams, and never quite gets the hang of rounding up her semi-feral flock on an island off Nova Scotia. She is eccentric and often hilarious. A lovely story"
— Jim Sterba, Author of Frankie's Place: A Love Story About Summers on the Maine Coast
"Who says there are no more pioneer women? Anne Barclay Priest has written a delightful memoir of her life with sheep and the dogs who herd them. Her passion for these creatures and her hardy good nature shine through the pages and make us wish we too owned a flock on a romantic Nova Scotia island."
— Jane Alexander, Actress
