From the moment Jeff Guidry saw the emaciated baby eagle with broken wings, his life was changed. For weeks he and the staff at … emaciated baby eagle with broken wings, his life was changed. For weeks he and the staff at Sarvey Wildlife Care Center tended to the grievously injured bird. Miraculously, she recovered, and Jeff, a center volunteer, became her devoted caretaker.
Though Freedom would never fly, she had Jeff as her wings. And after Jeff was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2000, Freedom returned his gift. Between sessions of debilitating chemotherapy, Jeff went back to Sarvey and began taking Freedom for walks that soothed his spirit and gave him the strength to fight.
A tender tale of hope, love, trust, and life, this moving true story is an affirmation of the spiritual connection that humans and animals share.

Very good reading and I still have another 60 pages to read, so I DON’T know how the book ends yet.
Animals are not my thing. But this story about animals was very interesting, compassionate and opened my mind to the magic of those who do enjoy animals.

Loved this book! Inspirational true story.
I couldn’t put it down. I am a lymphoma survivor so I could relate very closely to this narrative.
