Persimmon Takes on Humanity

By Christopher Locke

Join a compassionate, courageous and determined raccoon heroine named Persimmon and an eclectic, clever and loyal band of possums, minks, squirrels, raccoons, and even a cat and a big dog, on a wild adventure ride to save animals being abused and exploited for food, fur, and the circus. Gripping thriller, detective novel, love story, poignant and heart-wrenching drama, and exposé on humanity—all in one. This beautifully told novel will open eyes, hearts and consciousness to our profoundly abusive system of confining and exploiting animals today, and the deep suffering that these animals are forced to endure. Persimmon’s forest friends are eager to join her exciting rescue mission, but are completely unaware of what they will witness and the inherent risks and dangers they will face along the way. Will they succeed in saving the animals of the world from humans’ brutality, or will they fall victim to the overwhelmingly powerful system of abuse and cruelty they are trying so desperately to end? Read the book to find out!

Nathan Runkle, Founder and President of Mercy for Animals calls the book, “Powerful, captivating and inspiring! By the time you turn the last page, this book will have changed your life.” Persimmon Takes on Humanity is a deeply inspiring and highly memorable book, and one that young and older adults will enjoy.
