H Is for Hawk by Helen MacdonaldCall Number: 598.944 Mac
When Helen Macdonald's father died suddenly on a London street, she was devastated. An experienced falconer, Helen had never before been tempted to train one of the most vicious predators, the goshawk, but in her grief, she saw that the goshawk's temperament mirrored her own. Resolving to purchase and raise the deadly creature as a means to cope with her loss, she adopted Mabel, and turned to the guidance of T.H. White's chronicle The Goshawk to begin her challenging endeavor.
