âIn her new book, The Lambs, Carole George shares the fulfillment she has experienced over years tending a flock of sheep. I hope that this book will inspire readers to become more compassionate toward the living beings deprived of the many privileges we humans enjoy.â âHis Holiness The Dalai Lama
âThe Lambs is beautifully written, and right on target as an example of the naturalâpastoralâworld where we may achieve the fullness of human experience. Our descendants may gravitate toward the equivalent of [Caroleâs] Virginia farm.â âEdward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
