"I am looking forward to my next chapter, because my unexpected life with 600 animals can only be the beginning."
Laurie Zaleski's Funny Farm is a love letter to her mother, the woman who taught her resiliency, toughness, and how to foster "the kind of compassionate generosity that leaves the door open for everyone." Interspersed with animal tales/tails of Funny Farm residents past and present, this memoir is a must-read for animal lovers and rescue advocates alike. There is a familiarity in Laurie's written voice that quite literally leaves the lights on and welcomes you in.
