Out Of Harm's Way

'Out Of Harm's Way' is the unforgettable story of how Terri Crisp began her life's work, and of the often miraculous, sometimes heartbreaking, but always courageous rescues she achieved along the way. From the Los Gatos wildfires, to the Exxon-Valdez oil spill, to Hurricane Andrew, Terri Crisp has been through it all - fighting for the lives of animals.

Reader's Digest calls her an American hero, and National Geographic Explorer Journal has chronicles her gallant work. But when asked why she devotes her life to saving animals, Terri Crisp offers two simple answers. The first comes from the heart: She doesn't know how not to save animals in disasters - responding to their needs is as natural to her as breathing. The second grew out of necessity: Nobody else was doing it.

This is a deeply moving, inspiring account of one woman's desire to give the greatest gifts of all - love, care, and unending devotion - to aid in the survival of all our animal friends, great and small.
