Wild Within by Melissa Hart
In this delightful memoir, a woman at loose ends finds true love while rescuing destitute birds and is inspired to adopt a child. Tender, witty, and rewarding, Wild Within is a story about overcoming fear (of beaks, talons, and parenthood!) and saving oneself through saving others.
In this engaging memoir, Melissa Hart recounts her time spent at a raptor rehabilitation center in Oregon while also pursuing the adoption of a childSeamlessly weaving these themes together, she illuminates how helping another species is really no different than wanting to help and raise a child in need...Wild Within explores our instinctual need to nurture, both within our own species and within the animal kingdom...This is a tale of seeking the world from the heart: Helping wild birds demands nothing less, and neither does adopting a child. Melissa and Jonathan were blessed, in the end, with a beautiful little girl, but it's the time spent with the owls that lingers in a reader's mind long after the tale has ended.
