Castle Hill

I picked up a book from the library last week.  It was The Road to Castle Hill by Christine Fernyhough.  A really interesting read of High Station life in the Canterbury Alps of New Zealand.  She was a "townie" from Auckland and after experiencing life's ups and downs chose to change her direction and became a farmer.  It's a wonderful story that kept me riveted.  I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the triumphs of a woman who has given the better part of her life to philanthropy and community.
