Nel suo libro che a volte è toccante, a volte provocatorio e sempre carico di umorismo, l'autore Jim Reddy presenta il lettore a ciascuno dei tanti animali che hanno chiamato la sua proprietà rurale di 20 acri la loro casa negli ultimi anni. Attraverso il suo racconto delle loro personalità bizzarre e buffonate spesso esilaranti, porta alla luce le lezioni che gli hanno insegnato, e come ciascuno di loro lo ha aiutato a ricordare la sua umanità durante uno dei momenti più stressanti e tumultuosi che la nostra nazione ha dovuto sopportare. In tutto, Jim prende anche mira umoristicamente le persone, eventi, tendenze, e sfide che hanno dominato e polarizzato la nostra società, tra cui CRT, cancellare la cultura, nuovi pronomi, uomini in costume da bagno da donna, ex presidenti arancione brillante, e attuali presidenti molto deboli. Vedi cosa intendo? L'ultima parte è stata un esempio dell'umorismo di Jim proprio lì. Davvero. Jim Reddy è un ex amministratore sanitario con oltre 30 anni di esperienza nella gestione di pratiche mediche e centri di imaging ospedalieri. Nel 2020 ha lasciato il campo e lui e la sua compagna, Katherine, hanno iniziato a dedicare il loro tempo ed energie alla cura dei molti animali smarriti, randagi, maltrattati o altrimenti indesiderati che erano entrati nella loro vita da quando si erano trasferiti nella loro proprietà di 20 acri nell'America rurale. Egli attribuisce a queste meravigliose creature e alle loro personalità bizzarre aiutandolo a mantenere la sua (discutibile) sanità mentale e, cosa più importante, la sua umanità durante un periodo di caos e follia senza precedenti nel nostro paese dall'arrivo del covid. Il suo stile di scrittura e arguzia sono stati notati da luminari come sua madre e il suo agente con riconoscimenti come "La migliore calligrafia che abbia mai visto!" e "Mio figlio è un bravo ragazzo!" In realtà, sua madre è il suo agente. Ma lei ha detto quelle cose.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In his book that is at times poignant, at times provocative, and always laden with humor, author Jim Reddy introduces the reader to each of the many animals that have called his rural 20-acre property their home over the past few years. Through his recounting of their quirky personalities and often-hilarious antics, he brings to light the lessons they taught him, and how they each helped him remember his humanity during one of the most stressful and tumultuous times our nation has had to endure. Throughout, Jim also takes humorous aim at the people, events, trends, and challenges that have dominated and polarized our society including CRT, cancel culture, new pronouns, men in women's bathing suits, bright orange former presidents, and very dim current presidents. See what I mean? That last bit was an example of Jim's humor right there. Really. Jim Reddy is a former healthcare administrator with over 30 years experience managing medical practices and hospital imaging centers. In 2020 he left the field and he and his partner, Katherine, began dedicating their time and energy to caring for the many lost, stray, abused, or otherwise unwanted animals that had come into their life since they moved to their 20-acre property in rural America. He credits these wonderful creatures and their quirky personalities with helping him maintain his (questionable) sanity and- more importantly- his humanity during a time of unprecedented chaos and craziness in our country since the arrival of covid. His writing style and wit have been noted by such luminaries as his mother and his agent with accolades like "Best penmanship I ever saw!" and "My son is such a good boy!" Actually, his mother is his agent. But she did say those things. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
