Each story illuminates how animals can help us see and embrace others as they truly are and reconnect us with the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWishing 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd then, more farm animals started to appear: a miniature white horse, a donkey, sheep, 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 10-acre spread into an animal sanctuary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter of\u003ci\u003e What the Animals Taught Me\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the story of a particular animal that became part of Marohn's life. She shares what she learned from the sheep she rescued from an animal collector, the abused donkey she helped nurse back to health, and many others to remind us that animals have much to teach us about love, compassion, trust, and so many of the qualities we so often try to cultivate in ourselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deeply inspiring collection, \u003ci\u003eWhat the Animals Taught Me\u003c\/i\u003e awakens our hearts and reminds us that our best life teachers sometimes come covered in fur. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Marohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571746579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571746573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hampton Roads Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.59w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/29\/2012","brand":"Stephanie Marohn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078437204223,"sku":"9781571746573","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62222b86-34f7-4b47-8a42-5363d2f1eaa6.jpg?v=1685475507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-the-animals-taught-me-stephanie-marohn-9781571746573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
