This is the first story in the Leopard people series. It has the feel of a prequel.
A veterinarian specializing in exotic cats, Maggie has lived her life in the city. Her adoptive mother made her promise that she would never go to the rainforest, so she had to content herself with working with zoo animals.
When her adoptive mother dies, Maggie is notified that she is to inherit an estate from her biological parents. The estate is deep in the rainforest.
As she travels toward her new home, she feels like she is changing and doesn't know why. She will find someone to answer her questions.
Reading this, I found it a bit slow moving. Also, I thought that it suffered from the same thing that many shorts do: limited time to tell the story means that sometimes things happen that don't seem logical without further development. In addition, I found Maggie's behaving contrary to her custom and habit hard to believe.
Not a bad story, but not my favorite.
