Raised In Captivity

On a June morning, newspaper columnist Iris VanWingen finds a runaway monkey in her barn. Her rant at “that pathetic menagerie next door” sparks opposition to the zoo’s plans for expansion. It will be up to the zoo’s new and untested spokesperson, Caroline Finch, to do damage control. But before the summer is over, Iris and Caroline uncover sinister forces that threaten them both. What they learn from each other, and from ten-year-old junior zookeeper Rafael Rojas, sets them on a dangerous quest to save the land, the wildlife and the people they love.
