If Only They Could Talk: The Miracles of Spring Farm
In the bucolic farmland nestled at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York lies a haven for a veritable ark's worth of horses, goats, llamas, ducks, dogs, cats, and sheep. Known as Spring Farm CARES, the sanctuary enjoys a worldwide reputation for its groundbreaking work in interspecies communication. Situated on Reynolds' family farm, the center began innocently enough. Some animals came as pets; some were strays; some were rescued from situations of neglect and abuse. They all had one thing in common, however: each had a story to tell, and tell it they did. Cofounder Hayman, who began working at Spring Farm as a gardener, soon realized she was blessed with the ability to telepathically communicate with the creatures around her. With each challenge and catastrophe they faced, this talent became central to the survival of animals and humans alike. In an uplifting story of selfless dedication and limitless compassion, the authors offer entertaining and convincing insight into the minds of our animal companions.Carol HaggasCopyright © American Library Association.
