This book is a collection of short, easy-to-read, and moving stories about rescued farmed animals who have found a loving, lifelong home at Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary. In 2006, Bill Crain was a psychology professor and his wife, Ellen, was a pediatrician. They purchased a run-down farm in upstate New York, and two years later opened Safe Haven Farm Sanctuary.
