Praise for What Shamu Taught Me

"Amy Sutherland's new book has all sorts of wise and pragmatic advice for improving your human relationships.... The thing I love most about What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love and Marriage is that in every other paragraph, Sutherland's terrific wordsmithing, compelling logic, and anecdotes about exotic animals made me feel like she's tossed me a biscuit. I have been highly reinforced by this book, to the point where I plan to read it several times and give it to all my friends."

Martha Beck, author of Steering by Starlight and columnist for O: The Oprah Magazine
