In this touching memoir about the relationship between father, daughter, and animals, Carole explores life after adopting thirteen pet Karakul lambs. Throughout her years with the lambs and her aging father, she comes to realize the distinct personality of each creature, and to understand more fully the almost spiritual bond between man and animals.
This is a beautiful book in every way that will touch the hearts of readers everywhere.
"Just as our own lives matter to us, the life of each individual creature is important to it. We share the same experience of pain and pleasure. As we assume the concerns of others, either in practice or in thought, compassion will flourish within us. In her new book, The Lambs, Carole George shares the fulfillment she has experienced over years tending a flock of sheep. If we lack affection for other creatures, our intellectual superiority becomes meaningless and can even be detrimental. I hope that this book will inspire readers to become more compassionate toward the living beings deprived of the many privileges we humans enjoy."
His Holiness The Dalai Lama
"This is a thoughtful document that dispels any assumptions that sheep are "just dumb farm animals" who do nothing but follow. The Lambs is an enchanting book. We all know young lambs frolic in the spring fields: Now we learn about the fascinating social life of their elders. Please read this book."
Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace
