Monique Lewison, DVM, never expected her veterinary career would one day include treating a cow in an active minefield.

As a young large-animal veterinarian, she left the United States for a kibbutz in northern Israel and spent more than twenty years making farm calls through wars, rocket attacks, and political unrest across the Galilee and Golan Heights. Serving kibbutz and moshav farms, Arab and Druze villages, and Bedouin communities, she built lasting relationships and earned respect in a profession where women were still a rarity.

Grab Life By The Horns offers a rare glimpse into a world few outsiders ever experience, and a life lived with curiosity, courage, and an unwavering sense of adventure.
