520    "Funny Farm is an inspiring and moving memoir of the 
       author's turbulent life with 600 rescue animals. Laurie 
       Zaleski never aspired to run an animal rescue; that was 
       her mother Annie's dream. But from girlhood, Laurie was 
       determined to make the dream come true. Thirty years later
       as a successful businesswoman, she did it, buying a 15-
       acre farm deep in the Pinelands of South Jersey. Laurie 
       had planned to relocate Annie and her caravan of ragtag 
       rescues-horses and goats, dogs and cats, chickens and pigs
       -when Annie died, just two weeks before moving day. In her
       heartbreak, Laurie resolved to make her mother's dream her
       own. In 2001, she established the Funny Farm Animal Rescue
       outside Mays Landing, New Jersey. Today, she carries on 
       Annie's mission to save abused and neglected animals. 
       Funny Farm is Laurie's story: of promises kept, dreams 
       fulfilled, and animals lost and found. It's the story of 
       Annie McNulty, who fled a nightmarish marriage with few 
       skills, no money and no resources, dragging three kids 
       behind her, and accumulating hundreds of cast-off animals 
       on the way. And lastly, it's the story of the brave, 
       incredible, and adorable animals that were rescued"--
