I fell in love with Wayra myself, just reading this book. An honest account of a young woman's time volunteering at a wildlife rescue in Bolivia, describing the good, bad and ugly bits. The difficulties of dealing with the wet season, mosquitoes, lack of electricity and plumbing, poor nutrition, unclean living quarters... You wonder way she stayed - Until you start reading about her experiences with the animals, particularly a female puma named Wayra. A beautiful love story about a broken girl, a broken cat, and the jungle that helped heal both of them.
