Summary

From growing up on the Wirral to building her own sheep farm in Cumbria, Hannah Jackson shares the inspiring story of leaving behind her urban background to become a shepherd in the Lake District。

Growing up on the Wirral, Hannah Jackson had no idea she wanted to work on a farm until a life-changing family visit to the Lake District in her late teens。 It was there where she first saw a lamb being born, giving her the drive to defy her urban roots and become a professional shepherd。 She never looked back。

In this uplifting and inspirational memoir, Hannah shares how she broke the stereotypes of her 'townie' beginnings, took risks and faced up to the challenges of being a young woman in a male-dominated industry, and followed her heart to become the Red Shepherdess。 But behind the beautiful landscape, talented sheepdogs and eye-catching red hair was a steep learning curve。 The physically and mentally demanding conditions she faced as she chased her dreams to build her own Cumbrian farm taught Hannah the values the holds true, including community, leadership, patience and resilience。

In Call me Red, Hannah gives a unique insight into farming life and reveals a mindset and determination that proves no matter your background, with hard graft (and a loyal sheepdog) you can make your dreams a reality。

AMAZING!!! A memoir based on a woman from the Wirral, living the dream of farming I had to read it! The book from start to finish just absolutely gripped me and I could put it down, finishing it the next day。 Although it made me cry in some places it also made me smile and laugh。 It is just amazing and inspiring how she grew up as a townie and broke the barrier to become a farmer and must admit I have also followed her on instagram she just inspired me so much。 Eagerly awaiting another book!Many AMAZING!!!

Brilliant book that genuinely had me gripped like a novel。 Thank you very much to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for the ARC。Whilst ‘knowing’ Hannah from her Instagram and having a shared interest of farming I really think her book would appear to everyone。 Well known for her shepherding work and championing British farming she is an enchanting story teller which really makes the book。 The story covers her early non-farming childhood to various interests and adventures as well as the journey Brilliant book that genuinely had me gripped like a novel。 Thank you very much to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for the ARC。Whilst ‘knowing’ Hannah from her Instagram and having a shared interest of farming I really think her book would appear to everyone。 Well known for her shepherding work and championing British farming she is an enchanting story teller which really makes the book。 The story covers her early non-farming childhood to various interests and adventures as well as the journey to farming。 Highly recommend! 。。。more
