This is the story of the journey of a Tasmanian devil from birth to her own motherhood. It follows the struggle for existence of this now endangered Australian native marsupial. Purinina's story takes us on a journey: birth, learning to hunt, the separation from her mother and ultimately becoming a mother herself. It shows the reader a unique perspective on the lives of these amazing, often misunderstood creatures. It allows us to experience a glimpse into their lives as seen through the eyes of a devil.
