Helen Percy

HELEN PERCY, a former Church of Scotland minister, decided to change her life and become a shepherd. In her first book, Scandalous, Immoral
and Improper (Argyll 2011), Helen tells of endurance and survival of both familial and ecclesiastical abuse. Since leaving the Church of Scotland in 1997 she has worked with victims of child rape in South Africa and donkeys in the Kalahari Desert. Back home in the Highlands, she has contracted for a number of eccentric farmers throughout Scotland and Northern England, often travelling in a small van with her sheepdogs, a tame duck and an epileptic hare.
