Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl

August 4, 2009

Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl by Stacey O'Brien, is the spunky, undeterred, smart, resourceful, and endearing battle of wits between human and owl. Readers' emotional investment in this true story grows with each page. Intelligent, informative, and image-filled, the book is spiked with comical and outright hilarious accounts, as well as poignancy and heartbreak. "Normal" life for this single, attractive, and bright young woman, who is  a biologist and wild animal behavior specialist, was put on hold for nearly 20 years. Everything revolved around her responsibility to Wesley. But the tradeoff was a life enriched beyond measure by their unusual bond – a daily accumulation of irreplaceable moments. Like the owl hug. A magical and breathtaking expression of trust. This exceptionally well-written love story will wrap its arms around you, too.
