As the autumn winds blow, and the temperature drops below freezing, yes that
is right, and gasp snow al be it, wet snow comes back to Pennsylvania, it is
time to cuddle up with good books.
So got another one done tonight.
Under the .txt section of the website. I have a .rtf of the book, but it
has a lot more pages than it is supposed to have, so...
was read thoroughly, and this text file has page breaks for who ever edits
it.
From the book jacket:
Early one October morning, a bull moose strode out of the Vermont woods and
caught sight of a pudgy Hereford cow named Jessica. During the next
seventy-six days, he wooed her, and the amorous couple became the subject of
worldwide news coverage. People everywhere found the moose's ardent
attentions a touching diversion from more serious issues of the day and a
poignant reminder of the unpredictability of love.
But the underlying story, never fully told until now, is that of Jessica's
owner, Larry Carrara, and the patience and care he offered a wild creature.
The bond between man and moose speaks to all, young and old, of the
mysterious harmony that is possible when nature is treated with intelligence
and respect.
PAT A. WAKEFIELD was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. After eighteen
years of corporate life in New York City, she moved to Vermont with her
husband and two children. She is a marketing consultant living in North
Chittenden. This is her first book.
LARRY CARRARA lives in Shrewsbury, Vermont, on a farm that has been in his
family for three generations. He and his wife, Lila, have five children and
four grandchildren. He works for a local manufacturing firm and is a
part-time farmer with a few horses, a small herd of beef cattle, and a soft
spot for all creatures, wild or tame: "If a cow gives me trouble or if there
are too many bull calves, I'll sell them. I can't slaughter them. I get too
darned attached."

stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
