{"product_id":"9781952533488","title":"City Girl, Country Girl: The Inspiring True Stories of Courageous Women Forging New Lives in the Australian Bush","description":"\"I'm sitting down to write the opening lines of this book a year to the day since my mum died. She is constantly in my thoughts, not just because I miss her terribly, but because she was the inspiration for this collection of stories about women who have come from very different places to make a new life in rural Australia.\" City Girl, Country Girl brings together the stories of women who have left lives in the city or another country to build a new future in places where knowing how to milk a cow or drive a tractor stand them in far better stead than an ability to negotiate rush-hour traffic or find a good cappuccino. It ranges in scope from the classic outback story of Sarah Durack in the late 1800s, to the author's own mother's experiences of swapping wartime Melbourne for a dairy farm on the Limestone Coast, to the present day. City Girl, Country Girl is a compelling and fascinating account of these women's journeys as they struggle through personal tragedy, hardship, and self-doubt with grace, humor, perseverance, and more than a little hard work.","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Pty., Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152208609520,"sku":"9781952533488","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781952533488_p0.jpg?v=1763800093","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781952533488","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
