Description
Sheri Speede always knew that she wanted to advocate for animals. But it was not until she was transporting a chimpanzee away from a biomedical facility in Cameroon that veterinarian Dr. Speede discovered her true calling. She went on to found a forested home for captive and orphaned chimpanzees. This compelling story of that journey reveals the profound resilience and emotional complexity of both the apes and the woman who loved them.
