Infinity Publishing.com (USA) and
AuthorsOnline (UK) are pleased to present
Pieces of My Heart - Writings Inpired by Animals
and Nature
From the Author:
"I wanted Pieces of My Heart to depict the whole
range of our relationship with animals - the funny, the serious, and the sad. I
hope my book will entertain, inspire, comfort, and educate, and I hope
animal-people will use some of the suggestions and resources contained in the
Appendix. Most especially, I hope all rescuers, advocates and groups will take
advantage of the quantity discount arrangement with the publishers and use
Pieces of My Heart to help raise
funds for their own efforts."
As a "voice
for the voiceless," Jim Willis touches human hearts as deftly as he bonds
with the animals he rescues. His writings have inspired animal lovers around
the world in over a dozen languages. Now, with publication of his collected
writings in the USA and the UK, the Author has made a generous arrangement with
the publishers that can benefit the fundraising efforts of all animal rescue,
conservation and environmental groups.
 In
Pieces of My Heart - Writings Inspired by Animals
and Nature the author paints an emotional rainbow with a palette
akin to Thoreau, Khalil Gibran, James Thurber, Chief Seattle, and James
Herriot. Pieces of My
Heartencompasses favorites such as "We Are Their
Heroes," "How Could You?," "The Basset Chronicles,"
and "The Zen of Cat," as well as a treasure-trove of new writings.
Included is an Appendix of suggestions and resources for helping animals; and a
Foreword by Dr. Marc Bekoff, author of
Minding Animals:
Awareness, Emotions, and Heart and co-founder with Dr. Jane Goodall
of Ethologists for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals/Citizens for Responsible Animal Behavior Studies.
Lavishly illustrated by Christine J.
Head. (Softcover, 312 pages.)
Pieces of My Heart is a soulful, heartfelt
tribute to animals and a plea for compassion. As you immerse yourself in its
truths you'll reach for the nearest animal to hug, you'll smile through tears,
and you'll feel the urge to run barefoot in the grass.
Prepare for a Warm Glow!
"Jim
Willis makes a connection with the hearts and souls of animals that all humans
should strive for. His writings read as if the creatures he so passionately
cares for penned them. He powerfully reinforces the concept and importance of
the human-animal bond, and that bond is evident in nearly everything he writes.
Pieces of My Heart comes closer to speaking the minds of our non-human animal
brethren and speaking up for Creation than anything else you'll ever
read." — Dick Weavil, Publisher, AnimalTalk newsletter
