Many folks enjoy feeding and watching wildlife in their backyards, but few get as up-close-and-personal with the critters as does the author. Her short stories chronicle adventures with porcupines, bears, deer, skunks and more around her backyard in Poplar, Wis. This self-published work is illustrated with 140 of the author’s photographs.
