When Eleanor Green walked in the door of People Against Animal Cruelty (PAAC,) she entered an unknown world. The young reporter believes she's landed her “dream job” in a national animal protection organization. Her mother, however, warns her not to be "exploited" for the cause. On her first day, Eleanor realizes her boss, Honor Vine, is a tyrant. But she's soon developing campaigns and falling in love with people across the country who send PAAC their few dollars. She and her coworkers withstand Honor's demoralizing acts to continue their work to end the killing of homeless dogs and cats, to end hunting in state parks, to free circus elephants and laboratory animals. But how long can they withstand Honor's abuse? On the day that Honor is made to pay for her tyranny, Eleanor finds herself threatened. It is then that her mother steps in to reveal a life-long secret.
