The author talk will take place on Wednesday, June 13 at 6:00 pm. This free event will be held in the Library Community Room at 232 Middle RD, Acushnet, MA 02743.
Award winning author, Cheryl Aguiar, rescues a pair of Great Horned Owl babies after tragedy leaves the family homeless. The frightened young owlets are left stranded on the ground, unable to defend themselves from predators that roam the woods.
Cheryl and her husband Jim attempt the dangerous task of relocating the owlets and provide the family with a new home. Surprisingly, these Great Horned Owls also known as raptors, with a reputation of being extremely aggressive, show a different side when faced with sudden adversity.
Cheryl shares her emotions in this captivating, personal narrative as she observes this family in the wild. She documents the details of the rescue, the journey of the two owlets and the heartwarming outcome of a courageous and remarkable rescue.
Books will be available for purchase and signing. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Acushnet Public Library.
