Funny Farm by Laurie Zaleski

This is a memoir of Laurie, the woman who started and runs the Funny Farm animal rescue. At times heartbreaking, others hilarious, it tells her story starting with her mother and siblings escaping an abusive father, to her childhood growing up in poverty, to finally realizing her mother's dream of an animal rescue after her death. The story of her life is interspersed with stories of some of the animals on the farm. 

This book was so much more than I expected. So inspiring and emotional. I loved it!
