Joyce's Ark - Paperback

by Robert J. Molinari (Author)

"When you get to the tepee stop the car." These words were part of the directions given to us when we were looking for Joyce's first horse. A snow-covered young filly found us and changed our lives forever. Joyce's Ark is a heartwarming true story of one woman and her love of God and animals. Over the span of thirty-five years she has cared for, nurtured, and loved over 70 animals. Horses, dogs, and cats were the main critters, but there were ducks, a sheep, goats, rabbits, a turkey, and a bunch of pigeons. It is a love story that will make you laugh and cry and marvel at her grit and determination. If you love animals and have pets of your own, this book is a must read. Share in the laughs and tears on this Journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Robert Molinari is a retired development and public relations director for several major non-profit organizations, one of which was a zoo society.
