Summary of Catherine Raven's Fox and I

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had bought this land three years earlier. I had been living up valley, renting a cabin that the owner had winterized, in the sense that if I wore a down parka and mukluks to bed, I wouldn’t succumb to frostbite overnight. #2 The fox was a year old, and he had already trespassed several times to visit the house with the shiny blue roof. He planned to avoid his mother’s territory and visit the house instead. #3 The author had a conversation with Fox, and then looked at him in silence for fifteen seconds. The fifteen-second pause simulated his turn to speak. He had almost reached his average sitting time of eighteen minutes. #4 The unboxed fox and I were still reading when the landline interrupted. I tried ignoring it, but I didn’t own an answering machine and my caller had limitless patience. After listening to about a dozen rings, I went inside and picked up the downstairs phone, leaving the door open so I could keep an eye on Fox.
