About this Book

"Cathryn Hilker is a jewel in the crown of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, one of the top ten zoos in the world. Her life story spans two continents on a mission to save the cheetah, an endangered species. In honor of Cathryn's 90th birthday, this biography weaves the threads of a unique tapestry, a journey that led an ordinary farm girl from Mason, Ohio, to the extraordinary wilds of Africa (and back to Cincinnati). Cathryn is a legend in her own time for her passion and determination as a champion for cheetahs." -- Amazon.
