What begins as an act of rescue becomes an unforgettable meditation on freedom, love, and the untamed beauty of the natural world.
In February 2021, political advisor Chloe Dalton stumbles across a newborn hare, abandoned and vulnerable. She brings it home, expecting heartbreak—hares rarely survive captivity. But against all odds, this leveret thrives. Bottle-feeding turns into midnight thumps on her duvet, and the wild creature becomes a companion who wanders the fields by night and returns by day.
Dalton chronicles not just their improbable bond, but also the folklore, art, and science surrounding hares, weaving history and memoir into something luminous.
To love a wild animal is to let it go—and to realize freedom is the most profound connection of all.
