The puma years : a memoir / Laura Coleman.

Summary:
Presents the story of the author's journey in the Amazon jungle, where she fell in love with a magnificent cat who changed her life. Coleman was in her early twenties and directionless when she quit her job to backpack in Bolivia. Fate landed her at a wildlife sanctuary on the edge of the Amazon jungle where she was assigned to a beautiful and complex puma named Wayra. Wide-eyed, inexperienced, and comically terrified, she made the scrappy, make-do camp her home. And in Wayra, she made a friend for life. There were over a hundred quirky animals to care for, and the humans too were cause for laughter and tears. Most of all, there was the jungle, and there was Wayra, who would ultimately teach Coleman so much about love, healing, and the person she was capable of becoming. -- adapted from jacket
