The heart-warming story of how a tiny hedgehog helped one man find hope and a new beginning.

Veterinarian Massimo, who is at a low spot in his life, meets a tiny, orphaned hedgehog named Ninna. Only a few days old, covered with soft, white quills and mewling quietly, this little creature will turn around Massimo's life forever. Through the sheer force of Ninna's personality, curious, playful, affectionate, and the sudden, unexpected paternal protectiveness he feels nursing her back to health, Massimo reconnects with the world and finally begins to feel like home.

But as Ninna wakes from her first hibernation, she grows up, like any teenager, longing for freedom. A creature of the wild, she craves the free range of the woods beyond Massimo's house. Massimo must accept that Ninna is ready to move on, but one little hedgehog saved and released into her natural habitat is a new beginning for Massimo: setting up a sanctuary for the injured, orphaned, fragile, but with a will to live so strong it is truly contagious.

A Handful of Happiness is their funny and life-affirming story—a celebration of our favorite prickly wildlife creature that will make you laugh and cry. Perfect for animal lovers and fans of A Streetcat Named Bob, Arthur, Finding Gobi, and Monty Don's Nigel.
