No Life Too Small

The wummin wrote a book! 

​

'Looking after dying animals has taught Alexis what really matters in life - kindness, compassion and love.'

​

Read the story of how being diagnosed with a life-threatening, incurable chronic auto-immune disease and given just six weeks to live, and the sudden and tragic loss of her best friend Maggie, inspired Alexis to start the world's first multi-species, purpose-built animal hospice.

 

Out of that pain has emerged what has somehow become a very happy wee village of more than 300 rescued animals who live - and die - in love and peace. No Life Too Small tells the remarkable story of how this came to be, and the stories of Maggie and the other animals who inspired it all. 

​

'It's as joyful as life can be, and as excruciating as death always is.

It's an incredible adventure, superbly well written.

It's intense, hilarious, bittersweet, wise, painful, exciting and honest.'

​

'Alexis is an amazing person, not only for founding the hospice while fighting for her own life, but also for being brave enough to lay bare her personal story, her struggles, her fears, and her mistakes. Because the hospice wouldn't exist without her personal journey.'
