For fans of The Shepherds Life, a poignant memoir--and #1 Irish bestseller--about a wayward sons return home to his familys farm, and how he found a new beginning in an age-old world Farming has been in John Connells family for generations, but he never intended to follow in his fathers footsteps. Until, one winter, after more than a decade away, he finds himself back on the farm. Connell records the hypnotic rhythm of the farming day--cleaning the barns, caring for the herd, tending to sickly lambs, helping the cows give birth. Alongside the routine events, there are the unforeseen moments when things go wrong: when a calf fails to thrive, when a sheep goes missing, when illness breaks out, when an argument between father and son erupts and things are said that cannot be unsaid.The Farmers Son is the story of a calving season, and the story of a man who emerges from depression to find hope in the place he least expected to find it. It is the story of Connells life as a farmer, and of his relationship with the community of County Longford, with his faith, with the animals he tends, and, above all, with his father.About the AuthorJohn Connell is a multiple award-winning investigative journalist, film producer, author and playwright. His book was a number one bestseller and award-winner in Ireland. He lives and farms in his native Longford, in rural Ireland.
