Ed Durden brought a baby golden eagle home to his ranch in California, where she would stay for the next 16 years. As her bond with Ed and the Durden family grew, the eagle, named Lady, displayed a fierce intelligence and strong personality. She learned quickly, had a strong mothering instinct (even for other species), and never stopped surprising those who cared for her. The book details the true story of a golden eagle who shared her life with a human family for 16 years and gave her devoted loyalty to her master.
