| The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova BaileyLarge Print ONLY. Incapacitated at age 34 by a virus that wreaked havoc on her nervous system, author Elisabeth Tova Bailey was almost completely immobilized and had to rely on a caregiver and friends for everything. After someone brought her a wild snail with some flowers in a pot, Bailey became fascinated with its activities and found that observing it gave her a new purpose in her extremely circumscribed life. In The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, she relates details of her illness, but keeps her focus on the snail, adding scientific information about mollusks that she learned after she got better. Kirkus Reviews calls this memoir a "charming, delicate meditation on the meaning of life." |

Then he learned about greyhound rescue and adopted -- or was adopted by -- Comet, who began helping him with simple tasks. Wolf trained her to be his service dog, and their relationship healed both his psychological state and his marriage. Booklist calls this a "wonderful salute to the power of man's best friend." |
