An Uncommon Life

From childhood, Sallie longed to communicate with creatures different from her - human and otherwise. Her difficult upbringing and early adulthood influenced the paths she chose in her life. A white woman growing up in the south, guided by a black nurse/companion/teacher, she used these formative experiences to become an eloquent writer, educator, editor, advocate – and finally, falconer.

“I learned patience from caring for injured hawks, and how to turn off my internal chatter so I could listen and truly hear them.” - Sallie Reynolds

Sallie has taught herself two skills vital to these aims: to shut off the internal chatter that interferes with real listening, and, with painful patience, to recognize and reject the attitudes she absorbed growing up. She began writing at age 3, dictating the story of Adam and Eve, sans rib, to her aunt. Today, she is the author of 3 books, plus a long multi-volume novel about the Jim Crow South, newly completed.
