Author Patsy Kemp certainly doesn't gloss over her life or the hardships.
She was just three months old when her mother joined her droving dad Mick Kemp on the road.
Patsy published her first book The Drover's Daughter in 2017, and penned her earliest memories from five to 15 years in what became a very popular read.
The Kemp family, which included seven children, traversed southern Queensland and into New South Wales living in a small wagonette where privacy just didn't exist.
For the first 15 years of her life, Patsy only knew the long paddock as her home.
At just three months of age, Patsy's mother, who already had four older children, followed Mick, droving large mobs of sheep and cattle through western NSW and into southern Queensland.
As a baby, Patsy's cradle was the dog crate underneath the horse drawn wagonette, or the unused saddle, when the dogs needed their crate.
In her latest book, The Drover's Daughter Rides Again, the reader is taken back to her earlier life, and what happened after the droving days were finished.
Patsy said when she decided to write a second book she was worried she wouldn't have enough material to work with.
"But I had no reason to worry, the stories kept coming and then a few of my readers said they were interested in what I did next," Patsy told the Queensland Country Life.
The book includes Patsy's life leaving home, marrying her first husband and divorcing, adjusting to Melbourne life and travelling overseas.
There are pages where Patsy's wicked sense of humour shines through and has the reader in laughter, and pages tinged with exceptional sadness and tragedy when losing a still born baby girl.
On her return to Australia she worked as a shearer's cook in NSW and in Queensland she worked near Dalby as a farm hand and cotton chipper before disappearing into and being happily married and known as Trish Blackwell.
The new book was launched in Toowoomba. To buy a copy visit www.patsykempdrover.com.
