Leatherwood Author Releases First Book of New Series
 Inspired
by her seven horses, three cats, two dogs and
miniature donkey (many of which are rescues), author
and animal rights activist, S.L. Lurz, has created
the wonderful, fictitious world of Sweetwater
Farms. Using wit and adventure she subtly reveals
the series’ underlying theme of respect for all
living things. Come visit this magical place where
a young boy who wants to one day be a veterinarian
realizes he can not only talk to animals but can
turn into them as well! Young readers, and adults
alike, are sure to be entertained, informed and
inspired by this creative storytelling.
Sweetwater Animal Society and The Hidden Mountain
is available now in hardcover at the Leatherwood
Visitor Center and retails for $16.99.
