Raccoons when I was a Gurl

In my twenties, the 1980’s, I was given four raccoons to raise.  I lived in the town woods of North Reading, Massachusetts where later I would home birth my two sons.  I lived there for years with a generator, no wired in electricity and heated by wood. The first raccoon was when I was approached on the shores of lake Geneva as a toddler.
