In this heartfelt memoir, bestselling author Jon Katz shares the story of his rescue donkey, Simon, and how animals can teach us wisdom and kindness. In spring 2011, Jon received a call about a neglected donkey in upstate New York, and though he wasn't looking to adopt another animal, the moment he saw Simon, he felt a deep connection. Despite Simon's poor health and need for constant care, Jon and his wife, Maria, decided to bring him home. As Simon's condition improved, Jon nurtured him by hand, read to him, and even confided in him, forming a bond akin to that of old friends. In return, Simon revealed profound lessons about compassion and how it can transform our lives, inspiring Jon to take risks and embrace empathy. This new perspective led him to adopt a troubled border collie and a blind pony, as well as to seek a new farm for his family. Through his journey, Jon learned to open his heart not only to animals but also to the broader human experience, discovering the essence of love, risk, and friendship. With grace and emotional insight, the memoir explores the deep connections we share with animals and the rewards of living a compassionate and meaningful life.
