| Cattle facing northeast in a storm. |
I spotted these cattle one blustery morning. I was touched by the sight of their backs turned toward the storm. I had seen this in western paintings and perhaps in a few movies but to see this in real life was very moving. Animals are connected to the web of life. They move through their challenges with dignity and grace. I have always admired in their natural instincts.

| Horses with no complaints. |
These horses face northeast away from the storm. Snow collects on their back sides without any complaint. The animals take what nature gives to them. They allow rather than survive.

Product Description
Rose In A Storm
From New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz comes a moving and powerful novel, the first one inspired by life on his celebrated Bedlam Farm—and perceptively told from the point of view of Rose, a dedicated working dog.
Rose is determined and focused, keeping the sheep out of danger and protecting the other creatures on the farm she calls home. But of all those she’s looked after since coming to the farm as a puppy, it is Sam, the farmer, whom she watches most carefully.
Awoken one cold midwinter night during lambing season, Rose and Sam struggle into the snowy dark to do their work. The ever observant Rose has seen a change in her master of late, ever since Sam’s wife disappeared one day. She senses something else in the air as well: A storm is coming, but not like any of the ones she’s seen over the years. This storm feels different, bigger, more foreboding.
When an epic blizzard hits the region, it will take all of Rose’s resolve, resourcefulness, and courage to help Sam save the farm and the creatures who live there.
Jon Katz consulted with animal behavior scientists to create his unique and convincing vision of the world as seen through the eyes of a dog. Poignant, thrilling, and beautifully wrought, Rose in a Storm is a wonderfully original and powerful tale from a gifted storyteller.
