The way of the owl -- To that which you tame, you owe your life -- Owl in fancy -- Barn owl toddler: love me, love my owl -- Flying lessons -- Attack kitten on wings -- Love to eat them mousies -- Understanding each other: sound and body language -- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -- A day in the life of a biologist -- Owls are not waterbirds -- Deep bonds -- The sex tapes -- Fifteen years of trust -- Twilight: he whom I tamed saves my life

Written with the same heartwarming sentiment that made the memoir "Marley & Me" a runaway bestseller, biologist and owl expert O'Brien chronicles her rescue of an adorable, abandoned baby barn owl--and their astonishing and unprecedented 19-year life together
