Description by Author:
Sally learned to talk to animals as a little
girl, and her daddy didn’t like it.
Raised by an old hippie woman on the beaches
of Baja, California, Sally was taught to use her sensitivity of animals to
bring people back to the Mother. Her presence —a calm and haunted, powerful
intensity—attracts the attention of environmental groups eager to war against
cattle ranchers. With Sally as the face of their cause, thousands gather in an
animal cruelty protest that turns deadly.
"Sad Sally is a prophet for our time.
The gentlest message can pose the deepest threat. How should the world react?
Follow her? Monetize her? Silence her? Kill her? Chris Roy offers us a haunting
allegory about a collision of worlds." — Carly Rheilan, author of
Birthrights.
