Saving Grace...and Other Tales of Animal Encounters - Paperback

After a lifetime of wishing to be a writer, feeling certain that fiction was her calling, Virginia Larsen finally realized that her life experiences, particularly those involving unexpected encounters with animals, were better than any story she could concoct. Certainly, she enjoyed her students as a language and communication teacher in North Dakota, Minnesota, and several foreign countries, but at least half her heart has always belonged to the feathered, the furry, and the clawed. Larsen's previous work includes a translation of Lilo Beil's collection of German short stories, Shadow Time, along with a volume of essays about her hunch-backed, club-footed cockatiel entitled The Book of Lurch. Her next project will chronicle memorable encounters with her fellow human beings, more true experiences from a never-bored life.
