Book Synopsis

''A compelling story, beautifully told, about how animals can show you a way forward.'' Richard Glover

Tim Husband was born into a Jehovah''s Witness family who spent their weekends delivering God''s Word. Struggling to fit into this orthodox community, he found refuge in the bush, collecting and caring for injured animals.

At fourteen, Tim was thrown out of home by his father and the church elders. He was taken in by the owner of the local zoo, and in exchange for a bed and food, Tim spent the next ten years caring for the wild animals. Patiently observing these exotic animals gave Tim his first true sense of family. He slowly enriches their lives by making their habitats closer to those found in the wild.

Tim is one of a handful of international specialists known for their expertise in animal care. He has directed, designed and curated at some of the best-known zoos in the world, building a reputation as an exotic animal whisperer.
