“As I massaged their old joints or communed amongst them without words, a remarkable thing happened—that silence created an internal, safe space for me to float with memories, helping me work through my own grief and understand and accept life as it is.” A memoir–where animals, farm and nature show the way through loss.
In a nutshell
An illustrated journey of one woman as she grapples with the death of her father. At her side were the Misfits she had adopted into her small farm's barnyard–a grumpy pig, and old donkey, handicapped goats and one very special elderly goat named Old Man Guinnias.
As she cared or hospiced these creatures, she was able to have her own internal conversations with each–helping her understand their journey better, also that of her father.
A beautiful, quiet book for anyone who has lost a loved one or parent, or who appreciates the healing power of nature and animals.
