This memoir describes the legacy of childhood abuse and especially how recovery became possible thanks to the healing influences of the wilderness and animals--both wildlife and companion animals. Its many delightful stories chronicle my encounters with wildlife in the North American wilderness and vital connections with companion animals. From a wild ride crossing the Atlantic, to embracing animal rights as a young girl in Manhattan, camping with my cats in the Adirondack Park, and encounters with wildlife in various National Parks, I trace the many adventures that have gladdened my heart and sustained my spirit. I offer these tales to encourage others to enjoy our precious North American wilderness and to find the courage to save it--and ourselves-- from climate catastrophe. There is so much beauty in our world to care for!
