To all of those people, I want to say, You don’t understand. I’m not saving the animals; they’re saving me.' Ellie Laks was just seven years old when she was abused by her childminder. Through the troubled years that followed, animals were her salvation. Through near bankruptcy and a devastating fire, Ellie's dedication has not diminished. But it wasn't until she opened up the Barn to at-risk children and children with special needs that she realised how her animals could teach lessons in forgiveness and healing to others. This is a truly inspirational memoir, full of heartbreaking stories of hope and healing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Guisborough Bookshop Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49625963430224,"sku":"9780099584889","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/4988\/2448\/files\/9780099584889.jpg?v=1736529107","url":"https:\/\/guisboroughbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9780099584889","provider":"guisboroughbookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
