Person
Nancy Furstinger has been speaking up for animals since she learned to talk—and she hasn't shut up yet. She is the author of more than one hundred books, including Mercy: The Incredible Story of Henry Bergh, Founder of the ASPCA and Friend to Animals. Nancy was inspired to write Unstoppable in part by her own two differently abled rabbits.
