ABOUT
Here is the fascinating story of an American family, who came to New Zealand in search of a better lifestyle.
In Southland Betty struggled with rural living while her husband Walt tried to become a shepherd - with highly amusing results for both. Eventually they found their way to what they hoped would be their dream home - "Aotea" on Arapawa Island in the Marlborough Sounds, but it was not all paradise as the book tells.
Betty was drawn to the wildlife of Arapawa, the uniqueness of the sheep and goats she found there led her, and others, to seek protection for them. This is a true, touching and factual account of the battle to save the Arapawa wildlife, and of the family at the centre of the conflict.
