About this item
This true story describes the astonishing bond between a wild deer and the woman who fights to save her life. Named Blossom, the fawn thrives and matures into a sleek doe with a big personality. Their adventures are full of fun, at times, terrifying, as awareness blurs nature's wildlife boundaries, and love grows. Notoriety makes Blossom a target - to look at - or shoot at. Newspaper articles started the conversation. Neighbors and hunters joined up to protect the "Wild Ambassador of Tewksbury." Others bragged about using Blossom as bait and laughed about "Blossom burgers."
