A Memoir of Wildlife Rescue, Found Family, and the Creatures That Change Us
Most people think wildlife rehabilitation is about saving animals.
It isn't.
It's about learning when to intervene-and when to step back. It's about heartbreak, hope, impossible decisions, and discovering that sometimes the smallest wild lives leave the deepest marks on us.
When Samantha Calvert never intended to become a wildlife rehabilitator, she thought her future would revolve around horses and veterinary medicine. Instead, one unexpected volunteer opportunity led her into a world of orphaned raccoons, injured owls, abandoned skunks, and the people who dedicate their lives to giving wild creatures a second chance.
But the animals are only part of the story.
Through long nights of bottle-feeding babies, devastating losses, the death of a beloved friend, surviving abuse, and building a rescue from the ground up, Samantha discovers that healing rarely happens the way we expect. Sometimes it comes from unlikely friendships. Sometimes from a scarred cockatoo who refuses to let you grieve alone. Sometimes from a wild animal reminding you that survival isn't enough-you have to learn to live again.
Heartfelt, humorous, and unflinchingly honest, The Wild We Carry is a memoir about conservation, trauma, resilience, and the quiet responsibility of tending the wild places both around us and within ourselves.
Perfect for readers who love nature writing, memoir, and stories where hope is earned rather than promised.
