Author
and veterinarian Dr. Mary McDonald shares her own life story and hope she found
in The
Magnet: A Large-Animal Veterinarian’s Journey ($17.99, paperback, 9781545614389;
$7.99, e-book, 9781545614396). She mixes
humorous anecdotes with more difficult stories, while encouraging others who
live with emotional scars.
After
a childhood tainted by a dysfunctional family and sexual abuse, McDonald found
Someone who could put the pieces of her life back together and use her life for
something wonderful.
“To our amazement, we learn that
veterinarians insert magnets into cattle to collect bits of metal accidentally
ingested, thus preventing damage to the animal’s heart. [The Magnet] points the
reader to a Magnet who collects the deadly remainders from our pasts, leading
to the healing of our own hearts,” said McDonald.
