WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD A solitary woman’s inspiring, moving, surprising, and often funny memoir about the transformative power of her unusual friendship with a wild fox. Catherine Raven left home at 15, fleeing an abusive father  and an indifferent mother. Drawn to the natural world, she worked as a ranger in national parks, at times living in her run- down car on abandoned construction sites, or camping on a piece of land in Montana she bought from a colleague. She managed to put herself through college and then graduate school, eventually earning a PhD in biology and building a house  on her remote plot. Yet she never felt at home with people. Except when teaching, she spoke to no one. One day, she realised that a wild fox that had been appearing at her house was coming by every day precisely at 4.15. He became a regular visitor, eventually sitting near her as she read to him from The Little Prince or Dr Seuss. Her scientific training had taught her not to anthropomorphise animals, but as she grew to know him, his personality revealed itself — and he became her friend.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pearls Books n Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67936854769855,"sku":"87588","price":15.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/5552\/0703\/files\/9781954118003.jpg?v=1794447357","url":"https:\/\/pearlsbooksfnq.com\/products\/87588","provider":"Pearls Books n Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
