N2  - Country girl and novelist Rachael Treasure had worked hard to build a long-dreamed-of lifestyle on her own patch of dirt in Tasmania’s rugged and beautiful wilderness. But through the breakdown of her marriage, Rachael lost her family farm and lost her way in life.

Intensive farming, men on the land and women in the home, everywhere Rachael looked she saw ongoing harm to the soil and the foodchain.
