Penelope

When an injured, disabled fawn appears on the doorstep of Paul’s home one evening, she is close to death. Abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself, she is emaciated from surviving a brutal and solitary winter. She chooses the right door. Paul takes the fawn into his care and, from that night, they are bound to each other. He calls her Penelope. Living wild and free, Penelope returns every day for many years and an uncommon bond of love, trust and understanding develops between man and deer. A transcendent memoir about the intersection of two lives, which reminds us of the woven threads that unite us with the natural world.
