Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Growing up on the Wirral, Hannah Jackson had no idea she wanted to work on a farm until a life-changing family visit to the Lake District in her late teens. It was there where she first saw a lamb being born, giving her the drive to defy her urban roots and become a professional shepherd. She never looked back.
In this uplifting and inspirational memoir, Hannah shares how she broke the stereotypes of her 'townie' beginnings, took risks and faced up to the challenges of being a young woman in a male-dominated industry and followed her heart to become the Red Shepherdess. But behind the beautiful landscape, talented sheepdogs and eye-catching red hair was a steep learning curve. The physically and mentally demanding conditions she faced as she chased her dreams to build her own Cumbrian farm taught Hannah the values the holds true, including community, leadership, patience and resilience.
In Call Me Red, Hannah gives a unique insight into farming life and reveals a mindset and determination that proves no matter your background, with hard graft (and a loyal sheepdog) you can make your dreams a reality.

Inspirational - Genuinely didn’t want it to ever end!
A beautiful story of a strong woman chasing & then achieving her dream.
A comfortable listen at bed time.
I’ve never written a review before but felt compelled to state that this was such a lovely listen & I would encourage any woman to listen to this.
It truly does make you dream again & pushes those motivation buttons.
Reminding you to believe that You can start from scratch, work bloody hard & then achieve your dreams.

Fantastic engaging story for ladies who love sheep
Fascinating story about a young girl from a non farming background who had a passion for animals.
Her struggles against all the odds just added to her determination to follow her dreams of becoming a shepherd and running her own successful farm.
Not only was is heart warming and entertaining to listen to, it was also very informative and educational.
Well done Hannah, your passion for proving that woman can do anything they choose to do was very inspirational.
Loved it! Ax
