“This inspiring collection features nine captivating stories about ordinary bush men and women who lead extraordinary lives.  There’s the island cattleman who swims his herd past toothy sharks and beady-eyed crocs; the pineapple grower who builds a stone church for his community; the timber worker who becomes a champion woodchopper; and a dairywoman who, at eighty-eight, is still rescuing birthing cows form the brink of death.”
