Healer of Angels is a heartwarming collection of true stories of a
young boy overcoming life's challenges and disabilities with the guidance
of wise grandparents and other mentors. This process leads to a life
dedicated to the rescue, healing and release of the wild creatures of the
desert southwest. Some of the stories are humorous and some bittersweet,
but each will inspire, teaching a lesson as it touches the readers' heart.
Join Mr. Tyner as he reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified
of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a
wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry; from a shy dyslectic
teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.
Martin Tyner is one of America's foremost wildlife rehabilitators, a
master falconer, eagle falconer, and wildlife and environmental educator.
He travels throughout the west providing wildlife programs accompanied by
his devoted companion, Scout, a wild golden eagle. |

was a real page turner. I finished it about 1:30 this morning and just
couldn’t quit. It was fun to read and well written. Great Stuff!

Front cover to back
cover and everything in between is a rich history and a treasure of tales
well told. -Sheri Shea, High School Teacher
Their love for the
birds is infectious and their stories of overcoming adversity open up your
heart to a world full of hope. This is easy to read, 8 year olds to 80
year olds will like it. -Rob Snyder, Manager Springdale Library
I lent the book to
my brother, who is the biggest cynic on the planet, and he loved it.
-Robin Cole, College Student
Healer of Angels, a
book that speaks to you like a storyteller, a rare delight for people of
all ages. Children will relate to the stories, see themselves in the tales
of experiencing fear and insecurities and coping with them through
courage, persistence and understanding. -Joanne D. Browne, Ph.D.

they raised two children. In 1982 they opened Tyner's Pets and Dog
Grooming where Martin ran the pet shop and Susan groomed dogs. |
