THE SALT STONES Seasons of a Shepherd's Life

For anyone contemplating life off the grid--specifically, on a farm--this audiobook offers lessons both moving and unexpected. Cassidy Brown's narration of a family's move to Vermont's Green Mountains is engaging, earnest, and spot-on. One cannot help but be moved by Brown's delivery of the true story of the Whybrow family's life, love, and hardship as they shepherd sheep and, in other ways as well, seek to contain and constrain their own lives. Brown captures the care and intimacy of life on a farm, surrounded by beauty and, at times, danger. Listeners will appreciate the care Brown brings to a moving story of finding a new home and attempting to live off the land. J.P.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2025]
