Book excerpt: Jane Grieve was a career woman, having been actively engaged in the establishment of the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame at Longreach, Queensland, Australia, as its executive director up until the birth of her first child Sam when she was 36 years old. Her childhood being a dim memory, it was no small feat to move from suits, travel, a certain amount of glamour and being in charge of things to the shifting sands of motherhood - a world of being housebound, dressed in whatever, and then only if time allowed, and wondering, quite frankly, just who was in charge. Sam was followed in quite quick succession by Lou, then Jock. These then are the stories of Sam, Lou, Jock and the myriad of household pets, welcome and unwelcome, that attend the raising of children, on acreage, as if that made much difference. These stories will ring bells of truth for those in the thick of it, and memory for those who have survived. Jane hopes they will make you laugh and cry as being the mother of Sam, Lou and Jock enriched her life through both laughter and tears.
