Among Animals (cover shows red fox photographed at San Juan Island, Washington). |
Ryan's story "Paradise," published in Blue Lake Review, was TCR Story of the Month for March 2012.
Among Animals is a varied collection of stories by writers from around the world exploring the ways in which animals and humans both understand and challenge one another.
In "Greyhound," a woman brings home a rescued racing dog for her troubled partner in the hope that they might help each other heal.
Publisher's Weekly has called Jean Ryan a writer who "controls devastating psychological material with tight prose, quick scene changes, and a scientist’s observant eye."
The Los Angeles Review says "Ryan’s stories praise the transformative power of compassion, and reveal how the rescued can become the rescuer."

Thanks so much for this, Mary. And again, my deepest gratitude for choosing "Paradise" as The Committee Room's March 2012 story of the month.
