Penelope

When an injured, disabled fawn appears on the doorstep of Paul Bochner's home one winter's evening, she is close to death. Abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself, she is emaciated from surviving a brutal and solitary winter. But she chose the right door. From that night, remaining wild and free, she returns to him daily and an uncommon bond of love, trust and understanding develops between man and deer over many years. A transcendent memoir about the intersection of two lives, which reminds us of the woven threads that unite us with the natural world.
