Join us as we welcome Belea T. Keeney of Apex, North Carolina, who will discuss her novel, The Tiger Whisperer.
Jared Montaine owns a big cat rescue in Florida and faces financial pressures, getting over his ex-wife, and the challenge of suburbia creeping ever closer to his enclave for the animals. But when a tornado wrecks part of the refuge, Jared's worst fear comes to life: his Siberian tiger, Sultan, escapes. Jared races against the police, the media, and the hysterical public, all of whom are clamoring for the tiger's hide.
He must re-capture Sultan before the cat is killed—by traffic, by SWAT, or by a civilian who just wants to shoot a tiger. With fellow wildlife handlers at his side, Jared fights desperately to find and capture Sultan before the tiger injures or kills a human. Jared’s commitment is tested: to his animals, his refuge, and his belief that saving the life of even one tiger is worth losing everything.
