Sarah\u2019s life isn\u2019t a mess; it\u2019s just… boring<\/em>. No career. No romantic prospects. No sign that God<\/em> even cares. She leaves home in Montana for Scotland to volunteer at a spiritual retreat, a diminutive and humbler version of Downton Abbey, except everyone<\/em> is a servant. Sarah soon discovers that not only is she expected to plant 6,000 trees, but also manage flocks of poultry, a band of truant sheep, and a one-acre vegetable garden, AND<\/em> help with housekeeping and cooking to support the communal residents. She tries to give the Beloved a second chance at Braemar, but God is starting to get on her nerves. How can overwhelming chores, odd spiritual teachings and rituals, and a troubled romantic entanglement with her \u201cboss\u201d help fix her soul? Read the memoir to find out!
