On the barren stretches that separated our Arizona ranch from the historic gold-mining towns of Tombstone, Gleeson and Bisbee, teepee-like ant hills, eerie mirages, and devil-winds spinning up dry river beds created an alien dimension to life . . . add to that the dust filled air, cactuses, mesquite, and a world in shades of gray. Now, come walk with me, and listen to the voices and heartbeats of all God's creatures that lived and loved and brightened our world each day.Christopher Willcox, Editor-in-Chief of Reader's Digest reviews, "Penny Porter has made more people laugh and cry with her animal stories than any other author whose work has appeared in Reader's Digest. She is an original, and her book is warm, funny and wise."
