Graft [EPUB ebook] 
Motherhood, Family and a Year on the Land

In my mind I walk over the land. I run my hands through the grass as if it were the hair on my head. I dig my fingers into the dirt as if the soil were the crust of my skin.In Graft, Maggie Mac Kellar describes a year on a Merino wool farm on the east coast of Tasmania, and all of life — and death — that surrounds her through the cycle of lambing seasons. She gives us the land she knows and loves, the lambs she cares for, the ewes she tries to save, the birds around her, and the dogs and horses she adores.This book is a stunning thanksgiving for a place and a moment in motherhood; and a timely reminder of the inescapable elemental laws of nature.Susan Duncan on When It Rains: ‘An unforgettable story of love and courage that inspires even as it breaks your heart.’
