Někteří samotáři stojí nohama pevně na zemi, jiní vyprávějí svůj život trochu jako mýtus. Způsob, jakým v krajině přebývají, se ostatně dost možná mýtem brzy stane.

It was the spring of 1999 when Anna found the fawn, alone and dying in the grassy paddock of Unicorn Hollow, her farm in bucolic Tewksbury, New Jersey.
