Amanda Owen is like a breath of fresh air. Amanda’s life is one of old-fashioned values, hard graft and plenty of love. She, like her life, is extraordinary.
Amanda Owen is like a breath of fresh air. Amanda’s life is one of old-fashioned values, hard graft and plenty of love. She, like her life, is extraordinary. * Ben Fogle *

A really lovely, lyrical story of the ups and downs of their life. * Daily Mail *

Happily married with eight children, she wouldn’t change a thing about her hectic but rewarding life.
