Welcome to the wild side of healing - where raccoons relapse, elephants forget, and armadillos pray for redemption.A Few Feral Fables: Volume 1 is a darkly funny, brutally honest collection of modern animal fables written for the recovering, the recovering-adjacent, and anyone who's ever stared at their own life burning and thought, "Well... that tracks."Inside these pages, you'll meet: The Methed-Up Raccoon and the Dumpster Fire - a jittery little trash panda learning that rock bottom can still catch fire.LaQueefa: The Elephant with Amnesia - a forgetful elephant who keeps remembering the pain but forgetting her worth, searching for herself in all the wrong memories.Anal the Alcoholic Armadillo - pronounced uh-nall - an armadillo who rolls away from everything until she finally decides to stay still and face herself.Through black-and-white humor, raw truth, and unexpected tenderness, Lora Hardin turns chaos into compassion and wreckage into wisdom. These aren't bedtime stories - they're survival stories told by creatures who've been through the fire and came out slightly singed but still standing.
