"This is a book drenched in tenderness and suffused with wonder. . . . Penelope is a revelation."—Sy Montgomery, New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of an Octopus
On a late winter evening, author Paul Bochner looked out the window of his home. A solitary fawn stood in near darkness, famished, disabled, and clearly in pain. Hobbled with a broken foot, abandoned by her mother and left to die, she had miraculously endured an exceptionally brutal winter alone in the woods.
Perhaps it was an imperative toward survival which led Penelope to his door. From that night, remaining wild and free, she returned to him daily. Each time she appeared, Bochner greeted her gently, offering food, empathy, and care, allowing her to guide the progress of their relationship. As he earned Penelope’s trust and observed the full range of her emotions, it became evident that their inner lives were more alike than might have seemed possible.
Paul Bochner shares the tale of an uncommon connection of the heart, mind and spirit with a wild animal, and with it his growing respect for her and for all creatures.
Woven with the joy and pain of living, Penelope is the most unlikely of love stories, and one of the most memorable.

“Penelope is the first book by Bochner, a filmmaker who has written for The New Yorker and The Atlantic. His tender and surprising memoir charts the progression of his relationship with the deer that he calls Penelope. . . . Bochner’s prose is elegant and direct. In addition to being almost unbearably moving, the memoir has moments of humor. . . . We hear much about separation and division these days. Bochner’s hopeful account conveys an implicit message: If a meaningful connection can exist between a person and a wild animal, perhaps unlikely connections can be forged between people across seemingly uncrossable boundaries, too.”—The Christian Science Monitor
“Bochner’s deep empathy for Penelope will prompt readers to consider the unknown complexities of animals, and his bewitching prose (‘In the face of my love for a wild animal, I am aware that she is a continuation of the deer who lived on this spot of earth in earlier centuries’) will make them hope he picks up the pen again soon. This shines.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
