EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED .....
A career as a public health nurse and nurse educator, grounded in a notion of "One Health", (and the indivisibility of how we treat animals, nature, and humans) inspired this novel. How I view the world comes from making connections between human suffering and the previous lives of our rescues on our small rescue farm. It comes from the privileged lessons afforded to public health nurses who bear witness to the life circumstances of clients, communities and populations. How we view and subsequently treat the earth, or animals, is related to how we view and treat humans. The ongoing privileging of certain humans above all else is what leads to the wicked problems of the world. Maybe - just maybe - this gentle novel can invite us to collectively reflect on the true meaning of belonging... one quirky endearing character at a time. I hope you like it. xo Cheryl EDUCATION
