Chloe Dalton — once a speechwriter and foreign-policy adviser, she spent years articulating others’ voices — until a wild leveret helped her find her own. Her debut Raising Hare shot to Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller lists, not just for its tale of rescuing a baby hare, but for how that hare rescued her — from burnout and a life disconnected from the natural world.
✨ Once shaping political narratives in the UK Parliament, she now writes from the English countryside — alongside a wild hare. ☔ She recalls a rainstorm so intense she couldn’t tell where she ended and her barn or the wild began — and that moment changed everything. 🦌 Though naturally introverted, the hare taught her to listen — to the silence of the wild, not the noise of the news. 🙃 Quirk: she dealt with global crises in her past career — but found true calm in the most unexpected advisor: a wild animal. 😄 Amusing: she still leaves the muddy splashes on her wall — as a quiet keepsake from the days when a hare shook off dirt in her home.
