I loved this story so much! It showcases the good of humanity so much! This book at first took me like a storm with how honestly Ellie’s brutal childhood was told. I love how once she got into a drug addiction she had no choice anymore but to start living her best life little by little because that’s the only thing tolerable after living in a drug induced dreamland! I love how she has such an amazing connection to nature, the animals, and how spiritual it all is! I love how much bravery, and stubbornness Ellie had to make Gentle Barn into a reality!

It is so exciting to read about the animals, and hear snippets of their lives, how they got named, how sometimes they get into trouble! I mean this is the animals! They are so cute, and warm! This book elevates your energy levels! I mean it can also depress you though because most of these animals had to come from terrible environments, factory farms, the worst of conditions.

I love how one of the first things Ellie tried out was therapy on foster care children, and how it all just intuitively came into being! I definitely want to read more animal sanctuary stories! They should have a way bigger audience because this is a perfect format for these adventures with the animals. This is so much better than lots of mass produced fake happy books, this contains real happiness, and integrity! It can teach people to follow their own guidance, and love themselves!

I saw some reviews call this too self-serving, and I thought being self-serving was viewed as a good thing? Regardless of whether it is good or not it is something we must do as a society, we must be sensitive enough to follow our dreams to this extent in order to have a healthy, and functioning society. Our current society has abandoned sensitivity, the animals, our emotional guidance system. Emotions are important! They tell us what to do, and what we do not want in our personal expansions, journeys, they lead us to what is right for us.

This is the kind of book which reignites my hope for humanity! Thank you for writing it, and I want to thank myself for reading it, because I have been through so many stories which did not develop me as a person, but this book definitely encourages me to be connected to the animals, and to seek them out, seek to understand them. I want animals, nature to be a bigger part of my life!

Thank you!
