Conversations with Animals: From Farm Girl to Pioneering Veterinarian, the Dr. Ava Frick Story

     Born in rural Missouri on the 4th of July, Ava Frick knew at age three that she wanted to be an "animal doctor" when she grew up.  That precocious little girl's early years are traced in this inspiring biography that includes not only biological timeline events but also anecdotal stories (in her own words) about specific animals she treated and how they affected her personal outlook and physical condition. She never rested until she earned her degree, despite a slurry of setbacks involving animals and her father during her childhood and having to work while going to school.  

     A renowned and admired, sought-after innovator and influencer, Dr. Frick continues to venture well outside the box and beyond the confines of contemporary veterinary medicine.

About the Author

Acclaimed author, biographer, novelist, and ghostwriter, Ronald Joseph Kule, was born in Bogota, Colombia. His Polish-American /Colombian-Chilean parents paint-brushed his life-canvas with wanderlust, taking him to date through 39 foreign countries on three continents. He has delivered keynote engagements and seminars in 17. Having observed directly disparate societies and conditions worldwide, Kule appreciates ethnic differences among Earth's cultures. Today, the author lives and works in Clearwater, Florida, writing books full-time - his and those for clients - since his retirement in 2009 from a successful 39-year sales and sales management career. Kule's titles of non-fiction and novels regularly rate five stars on review.
