by Linda Hogan (Author), Deena Metzger (Author), Brenda Peterson (Author)
"This remarkable group of women have narrated their personal experiences with animals--what they have learned and how it has transformed their lives."--Common Boundary
"A celebration of compassion . . . Women are opening new ways of communicating with and understanding the animal world."--The Seattle Times
