Synopsis

USA Best Book Award winner Bronze medal winner the eLit Awards Gold medal winner Living Now Awards “Words and Photographs Combine to Create an Awe Inspiring Wildlife Experience. Have you ever been stalked by a bear? Pat Toth-Smith has and lives to tell her story. Her book, brings the outdoors indoors, the untamed animals into your living room, and tantalizes your imagination by her brilliant storytelling. Her exploits, combined with the award-winning photography, create an experience to behold; reading that is not just for the passing of time. She has created a book which stands out like a Giant Sequoia among the forest of ordinary books attempting to grab your attention. While reading the book, I was part amused, part proud, by the author’s candid talk about her fears, everything from running into wild animals to meeting strangers. It really says a lot about her determination and love of her job that she would continue to face those fears on a daily basis. It’s a motivation for us all that we can face our fears to do what we love." Suzanne Gattis, Pacific Book Review Wild Among Us is a fascinating series of autobiographical stories. Her story telling pulls you into her perilous world, where you share the strange and sometimes dangerous situations she navigates as she travels the highways and wilderness areas of North America. In the end it all seems worth it when we see the results of her labors, the stunning wildlife photos, the vivid observations of the animals’ behavior and the hard earned knowledge gleaned of the job.

About this title

About the Author:

Pat Toth-Smith grew up in New Jersey and moved to California in her late 20's and embarked on an adventurous and sometimes dangerous career photographing hard to find North American wildlife such as bears, wolves, cougars and other wildlife. "I have always felt it was worse to never do something because I was afraid to do it, then to do it and fail. So I pushed myself to do what I love, photographing wildlife." Her bear and other wildlife photographs have sold in numerous galleries throughout the West, and in hundreds of fine art shows. A featured artist in Wildlife Art magazine in 2005, Pat also was a guest artist at Yosemite's Ahwahnee Hotel in 2008, and has sold her work in Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. After appearing in multiple newspaper articles in the San Francisico Bay area, she has become a featured guest speaker at conferences and educational events.
