Non-Fiction Memoir
Benjamin Mee decided to uproot his family and move them to
an unlikely new home: a dilapidated zoo on the English
countryside, complete with over 200 exotic animals. It was
his dream to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family
business. There was much work to be done, and none of it
easy. Tigers broke loose, money ran low, the staff grew
skeptical, and family tensions ran high. Then tragedy
struck. His wife had a recurrence of a brain tumor, forcing
Benjamin and his children to face the heartbreak of illness
and the devastating loss of a wife and mother. But inspired
by her memory and the healing power of the incredible family
of animals they had grown to love, Benjamin and his kids
resovled to move forward. The Mee family opened the gates of
the revitalized zoo in July 2007.
