Welcome to Litsy!

While grieving her elderly father's death, artist Katherine Dunn learns that the time she spends hospicing and caring for the many old barn animal at her farm also bring her comfort, and understanding, about her father's death. Illustrated with 60+ emotive art and photographs, the book shows a journey through grief with Nature as teacher. The author's time in the barnyard gives her opportunities to reflect on memories, helped by the internal dialogues she has with her old goats, donkeys and other "Misfits" as she calls them - the many barn animals that either wandered to her farm, or been adopted by her from neglected situations. This book shows the healing power of animals and art.
