Out of the Ashes

In "Out of the Ashes," read by Sophie Aldred, Becky Morley starts her diary on January 1, 2001, as the foot and mouth disease looms far from her family's Devon farm. However, as the disease approaches, her life is upended by the potential devastation to their livestock. This poignant story by award-winning author Michael Morpurgo captures Becky's anguish and hope as she faces the uncertain fate of her beloved animals, including her cherished hand-reared lamb, Little Josh.
