Rebecca Brown adopted a baby squirrel, and it changed her life. This warm, funny, poignant memoir explores the mystery of aliveness, the nature of time, and human relationships with the creatures who share our world. Organized by animals the author has encountered, from a bear in the Cascade Mountains to monkeys in Japan, My Animal Kingdom draws a vivid portrait of life in a changing world, teeming with cats, dogs, otters, monsters, a goose, a turtle, and some chickens with a secret.
