Overview
Award-winning Finalist in both the 2015 National Indie Excellence Awards (NIEA) competition, "Animals" category, and in the "Animals/Pets: Narrative Non-Fiction" category of the 2015 USA Best Book Awards! In Hand in Paw, explore the winding path to reinvention of self, and discover the intriguing world of communicating with animals. Hand in Paw tells a story of death and rebirth as the author uncovers her buried sense of self, steps onto a new life path, and finds purpose in the world delivering wisdom from the animals.
Throughout the wrenching transformation, as Nancy explored her well of deep grief, questioning and doubting every step of the journey, Tyson grew from feisty kitten to wise master teacher. He became her guide and critic throughout her profound spiritual growth, offering insightful one-liners, poetry, and philosophy on life and living.
Join Nancy on this incredible adventure of inter-species communication as animals of the wild come forth with deep messages for all of humankind. Hand in Paw is a journey of discovery and trust in the wisdom of all beings. [A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to animal-welfare organizations.]
// Praise for Hand in Paw:
"Hand in Paw invites us into the rich and amazing world of animal communication. An ordained Interfaith Chaplain, Nancy shares her powerful and touching journey from an intuitive longing to communicate with the non-human world to full realization of its rich chorus of voices. From her family of animals, to the world of birds, coyotes, dolphins, llamas, and animal spirit guides, to the oceans and the earth herself, Nancy shares the profound guidance and wisdom of our countless non-human companions, and what it means to love an animal, not as a pet, but as friend, family member and spirit guide.
It came as no surprise to me that I have grown closer to my own aging friend Bugsy, our eight-year-old rescue dog, who teaches me how to live cheerfully with arthritis, blindness, and too many stairs."
John C. Robinson, Ph.D., D.Min. Author of Three Secrets of Aging, Bedtime Stories for Elders, What Aging Men Want
"I am touched by Nancy's ability to paint beautiful pictures with words, of the world around her, and of her spiritual experience.
