A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Wishing to escape the urban rat race, freelance writer and editor, Stephanie Marohn, moved to rural northern California in 1993. Life was sweet. She was a busy freelancer. In return for reduced rent, she fed and cared for two horses and a donkey. Her life was full. And then, the farm animals started to appear: a miniature white horse, a donkey, sheep and chickens, followed by deer and other wildlife. Each one needed sanctuary either from abuse, physical injury or neglect. Marohn took each animal in and gradually turned her ten acre spread into an animal sanctuary that cares for farm animals. Each chapter focuses on the story of an animal that became part of her life. Together these stories entertain and inspire, offering readers new insight into animals and how we can all connect more deeply with them in the world. Marohn shares what she learned from her experiences from the sheep she rescued from an animal collector, to an abused donkey she helps nurse back to health, these stories are deeply inspirational. WHAT THE ANIMALS TAUGHT ME explores the deep connection between humans and other animals on mystical, spiritual and practical levels.

Revue de presse

In this deeply insightful book Stephanie Marohn explores, through each heart warming story, the nature of our relationship with animals, and the often unintentional harm we may inflict on some of those we believe we love. What Animals Taught Me leads to important questions. How well do we communicate with animals in our care? How do we react when we see someone abusing a dog or a donkey? Marohn shares with us some of the profound lessons that she has learned from the many animals she has rescued. --Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE Founder - the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace
