{"product_id":"9781894759809","title":"Lorne Greenaway: From Horseback to the House of Parliament","description":"A proud son of Bella Coola's Norwegian settlers, Lorne Greenaway grew up in the Okanagan in a time when kids left home after breakfast to face the day's adventures (and misadventures) armed with only an uncomplicated faith in their own youthful immortality. \u003cp\u003eWhen Lorne won a pony in the Red River Cereal contest, a lifelong love of animals was born. After graduating from high school, Lorne chose to pursue a career in veterinary medicine at Guelph University, where his inclination toward practical jokes helped to temper the long and grueling studies of a veterinary student. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this intimate memoir Lorne describes the humour, tragedies and triumphs of a large-animal veterinary practice on the cattle ranches of BC's Interior. Not long after he had established a thriving practice, circumstances conspired to take Lorne on an eclectic journey from teaching veterinary medicine, to ranching, to exporting cattle and finally into politics. Lorne's ten years as a member of Parliament and his subsequent time in provincial politics paint a fascinating and heartwarming picture of what one lone backbencher from the boonies can--and cannot--do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caitlin Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058539217136,"sku":"9781894759809","price":23.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781894759809_p0.jpg?v=1763610363","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781894759809","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
