After a painful loss and desperate for a fresh start, Alex Carter uproots his two children from the city to the sleepy town of Willow Creek, where an unexpected opportunity awaits: a rundown, forgotten zoo on the edge of town. Impulsively purchasing the dilapidated property, Alex finds himself the reluctant new owner of dozens of exotic animals - and a mountain of challenges.
With the help of spirited head zookeeper, Emma Reyes, and a small but fiercely dedicated staff, Alex and his family begin the slow, emotional journey of rebuilding not just the zoo, but their broken lives. Battling financial strain, skeptical town officials, unpredictable animals, and their own lingering grief, the Carters learn that sometimes, saving something wild and beautiful can save you, too.
Full of heart, laughter, setbacks, and small victories, A New Dawn at Willow Creek Zoo is a story about second chances, daring to dream again, and the magic that can happen when you take a leap of faith - even when it feels impossible.
