Description
West with Giraffes A Novel by Lynda Rutledge In 1938, the Great Depression lingers and the world is weary. But amidst the hardship, a remarkable true story emerges. Two giraffes, miraculously surviving a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic, capture the hearts of America. Their incredible journey inspires a young man, Woodrow, to embark on a twelve-day road trip to deliver the giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. As the story unfolds, it weaves together real-life figures with fictional ones, exploring the power of animals, kindness, and the passing of time. A tale of adventure, historical saga, and coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes is a poignant reminder of the impact one extraordinary experience can have on a life. With its unique blend of history, drama, and animal encounters, this novel is a compelling read for anyone interested in stories of resilience and the human spirit.
