Who could guess that shooing a scraggly raccoon away from a trash can could lead to ten years of life-enhancing lessons on animal behavior and motherhood? The raccoon, it turns out, is blind. With a little help from a human benefactor, "Mrs. Coon" prospers and learns how to be a mother to sighted kits. But life is not always easy for a wild blind animal surrounded by coyotes, foxes, dogs and cars, not to mention Animal Control officers and other predatory raccoons. The story of the blind raccoon's adventures shines a light on motherhood at its best and reminds us that humans are not the only beings able to grow and change.
