"A Handful of Happiness: How a Prickly Creature Softened a Prickly Heart Hardcover" by Massimo Vacchetta and Antonella Tomaselli.

 

 

 

Massimo Vacchetta, an Italian veterinarian, provides expert care for large animals—cows, horses, sheep. One day, a friend asks him to help care for something much smaller: an orphaned baby hedgehog. Only a few days old and so very alone, Massimo is struck by her helplessness and connects with her in a way he’s never connected with any other animal. He names her Ninna. 
 
Soon, another sick hedgehog lands in his lap. And then another. As Massimo finds these hedgehogs who need his help, he finds himself—and the true meaning of compassion. 
 
While his other prickly patients are healed and released, Massimo continues to dote on Ninna like a child, constantly fretting about her health and happiness, not ready to say goodbye. But the cage that once kept her safe soon becomes a prison, and as much as it breaks Massimo's heart to let her go, he knows she longs to be free. 
 
Through this life-affirming story of a man and his hedgehog, we learn that there’s no such thing as too small an act, if it’s done out of great compassion and love.

 

 

 

I usually prefer reading fiction over true stories, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this one.

ahaha it you have a german friend you could read it with him (you in english and him in german) and discuss every page together each time after you read it.

 

for exapmle, in french they translate mein kampf to "my combat", in polish they interpret it as "my testament" , in czech it's "my life" in russian it's "my struggle" etc... if you want to feel the full emotion...

I just finished Pride and Prejudice, and started Wuthering Heights but misplaced it. So then, I read The Persian Gamble by Joel C. Rosenberg. I am also on Ezekiel 47 on my read straight through the Bible.
