Filled with intense, critical emergencies, all of them based on true cases, the book has been "vetted" by modern, practicing veterinarians. Nor do they trust him, the "too tall, long-haired Injun." Warren truly is a man without a home, with a foot in two worlds, but welcome in neither until he learns to trust his own heart.. Warren Jeffreys, because, despite his best attempts not to, he cares. He's cleansing cows and cutting up dead lambs inside bawling ewes--an animal mechanic working for a small-time veterinary service in rural North Idaho. And, because he cares, because he competes against death, regardless the odds, he makes a difference. Raised white, half Cree, he's gifted with animals, but not very people savvy. As his hopes for prestige and preeminence buckle under the rigors of day-to-day practice, he finds a new dream--a reconciliation to home and family--and with it comes a certain peaceuntil, once again, as fame and fortune tempt, he faces hard choices. Unfortunately, the often cantankerous farm folk he serves don't always appreciate his efforts and skill. A lot.

"Nitty Gritty Business of Veterninary" according to Cellophane Queen. Summary:Warren Jeffreys wants to be a premiere veterinarian on the horse show circuit. He certainly has the education (multiple degrees) and a special connection with the horses he loves (not to mention the cows, pigs, goats, and mules), but he's got a prickly personality.
And when something goes wrong, her vets perform detailed procedures and surgeries that only a true insider would know. The novel has all the characters: quirky, bitter, angry, rude, stand offish, passionate, caring and otherwise. Similarly, Ruek treats her animals like the intelligent and full-of-character beings they are. Bye, Chase Enterprises Publishing .
