The incredible true story of a place where animals heal and children learn to hope Ellie Laks was just seven years old when she was abused by her childminder. Through the troubled years that followed she found comfort with animals. As she grew up, she fell into a life of drug addiction, but once again, animals were her salvation. In My Gentle Barn, Ellie tells not only her own story, but also the stories of some of the animals she has rescued. Through near bankruptcy and a fire that almost killed all of the animals, Ellie's dedication has not diminished. But it wasn't until she decided to open up the Barn to groups of at-risk children and children with special needs that she realised how her animals could teach lessons in acceptance and healing to others. And she tells some of those heartbreaking stories here. The Gentle Barn is now home to 170 animals and is widely acknowledged throughout the US for the work it does. People come from all over the world to meet the animals and Ellen de Generes regularly features the Barn on her show. This is a truly inspirational memoir, full of hearbreaking stories of hope and healing.
