À propos de cet audio

Imagine what life would be like to be loved by a not-so-typical wild deer. Think of the discoveries - full of fun, and at times, terrifying - as awareness blurs nature's wildlife boundaries and friendship grows. This is the true tale of a deer rescue and a human.

It was the spring of 1999 when Anna found the fawn, alone and dying in the grassy paddock of Unicorn Hollow, her farm in bucolic Tewksbury, New Jersey. The sick baby triggered vivid memories of her own catastrophic injuries as a small child, and their bond grew strong.

Named Blossom, the pet fawn, thrives, and matures into a sleek doe with a big personality. She lives in and out of the house, never choosing between her wild herd or the human family who raised her. Protecting a deer within a rural hunting community soon turns into a drama with many ramifications.

Notoriety makes Blossom a target to look at or shoot at. Newspaper articles started the conversation. Neighbors and hunters joined up to protect the “wild ambassador of Tewksbury”. Others bragged about using Blossom as a bait and joked about “Blossom burgers”.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Eloquently written... This riveting true story describes the astonishing bond created between a beautiful, wild creature and the woman who saved her. Blossom's story is intertwined with the author's recollections of long childhood hospitalizations resulting from a severe injury. Carner became a caretaker of sorts to other hospitalized children, and an interesting parallel backstory emerges.... Descriptions of Blossom - 'her ears rotated toward the quiet sounds around her, reminiscent of large satellite dishes searching for answers in the universe' - are elegant and immediate. Carner's fear is palpable when Blossom's life is threatened: 'I considered running out, flailing and screaming like a wounded bird...' Blossom's extraordinary story defies traditionally held beliefs regarding the divide between man and nature and is likely to cause readers to reassess their assumptions about 'wild' animals. It is sure to appeal to anyone who savors the beauty of our natural world." (BlueInk Review, notable book)

"In riveting detail…with the tension of a thriller... A thought-provoking, poignant, and unusual love story that lingers." (Kirkus Reviews)

"A beautiful memoir of healing and hope wrapped up in the story of how one helpless fawn found both." (Chanticleer Reviews, best book)
