Diana Phillips Book order

Pioneers Pan Phillips and his partner Rich Hobson carved their places in ranching history when they discovered "grass beyond the mountains" in the far reaches of the Chilcotin. Thanks to a series of hugely popular books, their exploits became the stuff of legend and Phillips became one of Canada's enduring folk heroes. But if a man had to be tough to survive some of the roughest living in creation, what did a young girl have to be?

Set against the backdrop of a remote pioneer ranch in British Columbia's interior, the story captures the challenges and adventures of growing up in a rugged environment, highlighting themes of resilience and the connection to nature.
