“A fascinating and heartwarming story [that will] resonate with people who suffer from chronic pain and who love animals . . . I am inspired by [Laracy’s] emotional depth in relating to [Bunny Boy] and his perception and response to her needs.”—Jan Chambers, President, National Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Association When the rug is pulled under from Nancy Laracy, a busy wife and mother of two who is diagnosed with a mixed connective tissue disease and fibromyalgia in her mid-thirties, she rebelliously adopts a baby red satin rabbit, Bunny Boy. So begins a deep, magical, and lifelong bond, where Bunny Boy and Nancy become inseparable companions in pain management. As Nancy battles her debilitating chronic pain, Bunny Boy is diagnosed with a similar incurable autoimmune disease, developing a severe jaw abscess. Despite the fact that bunnies are known for succumbing to their fear and pain during medical treatment, Bunny Boy fights through countless surgeries with the heart of a lion, even helping to pioneer a cutting-edge medical treatment that, once made available to humans, would save Nancy’s life. Despite Bunny Boy’s illness, he lives boldly with joie de vivre without a care for his pain, gamboling about the house where he runs free. As they grow closer in sickness and in health, Bunny Boy shows Nancy how to reclaim her own zest for life and overcome her disease, as well as dozens of other patients in a rehabilitation center when he becomes a therapy rabbit. A poignant story of resiliency, deep love, and faith in miracles, Bunny Boy and Me is a heartwarming tale of the unluckiest, luckiest rabbit who defied the odds and made a difference. “A fascinating and heartwarming story [that will] resonate with people who suffer from chronic pain and who love animals . . . I am inspired by [Laracy’s] emotional depth in relating to [Bunny Boy] and his perception and response to her needs.” —Jan Chambers, president of the National Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Association "Nancy Laracy is a gifted writer, who tells a difficult story with great sensitivity and depth. By the end of the book, I loved and appreciated Bunny Boy just as much as she and her family did. A moving and ultimately uplifting book." —Alison Gaylin, USA Today bestselling author of If I Die Tonight "Once in a great while, a book falls into your hands that touches your heart. Bunny Boy and Me is such a book. Written with heartwarming authenticity, Bunny Boy and Me is a triumphant example of how love, even from an unexpected source, can bond two souls and see them through an unforgettable journey." —Christiane Heggan, bestselling author of Where Truth Lies "Readers . . . will be uplifted by the story of this little bunny with a large heart." — Best Friends  magazine "This poignant story of Nancy and her 'third child' captivated me. . . . I found myself both laughing at Bunny Boy's antics and crying with the physical struggles both he and Nancy had to deal with. . . . The love given to this remarkable bunny by Nancy and her entire family, and the love returned, is palpable. . . . I would recommend this book to anyone struggling with chronic pain or debilitating illness. It is truly a story of love, strength, resilience, and hope; and how love for a pet can be a powerful tool in overcoming challenges in coping with illness." —Kathy Nugent, LCSW, director of regional programs, CancerCare “Ms. Laracy weaves a beautiful story describing the reciprocal nature of the human-animal bond. Anyone who has had the privilege to love and be loved by a pet will understand the depth and richness of devotion described in Bunny and Nancy’s journey.” —Dr. Nicole Ehrhart, Professor of Veterinary Surgical Oncology, Colorado State University "This eloquently written, heartwarming memoir by Nancy Laracy is an example of the power of love to heal where modern medicine falters. It will bring light, joy, and inspiration to all those who read it. Bunny Boy was a fighter, a teacher, and ultimately a healer. I believe it was Bunny Boy’s healing power that led Nancy to start the first branch of Bunnies in Baskets on the east coast, which brought her and her second bunny, Muffin, to our grief-stricken families in Sandy Hook, Newtown, Connecticut, where, just weeks after the events of December 14, 2012, and for the last five years, even with so many health issues of her own, Nancy and her miraculous rabbit brought love, comfort, and cheer to so many of our children who experienced a tragedy impossible to imagine." —Judy Sims, director of the Children’s Adventure Center, Newtown, Connecticut "A thought-provoking memoir that reminds us to be resilient!" —Milly Velez, president and founder of the Fibromyalgia Care Society of America, Inc. "Nancy Laracy's memoir is a deeply moving testament of how one small animal can play an important role in many people’s lives. Aside from Bunny Boy's designated therapeutic role, he was so valued as a companion,
