To make her dream come true Lorraine Turnbull dragged her new husband and reluctant children away from Glasgow to live the 'Good Life' on a smallholding in Cornwall. Sheep wrestling, making cider, dealing with maggots and a demented mother and all under the pressure of the dreaded Agricultural Occupancy Condition.

Lorraine shares the story of the delights and disasters of living off the land in Cornwall and of how she finally triumphed over adversity.

This memoir of life on a smallholding in Cornwall will appeal to many readers. Those who love Cornwall, who love tales of rural life, those looking for true stories with an uplifting ending. There is humour, pathos and a real honesty about family life on the farm.

Industry Reviews

A true story & journey. Oh, what an enchanting read right to the last page! A wonderful adventure, a teller of many tales, fitting in many characters, it's a book to be read by all. I really enjoyed it. Booklover Bev.

This is a lovely, honest memoir about the joy of following a personal dream and the reality that gets in the way of living it. What a life the author has had. She is one brave and very hard working woman. I enjoyed it very much, made me laugh and made me cry. Ms J.M.McDonald

I laughed my head off in places and broke my heart in others. Once started I couldn't put it down. I've read it in bed, in the garden and in the loo. Brilliant! Gail Parsons.

I would thoroughly recommend this book. This story will show you that life is a balancing act that we don't always get right. You will laugh and you will cry but the one thing that you will take from this book is life is for living and to make the most of every moment. You will be truly inspired by Lorraine's courage and determination to go for your dreams. Malcolm Adams.
