Lawrence Anthony devoted his life to animal conservation, protecting the world’s endangered species. Then he was asked to accept a herd of “rogue” wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand. His common sense told him to refuse, but he was the herd’s last chance of survival: they would die if he wouldn’t take them.

To save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed, he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

The Elephant Whisperer is a heartwarming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad memoir of Anthony’s experiences with these giant yet sympathetic creatures. Set against the background of life on an African game reserve, with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, Anthony’s unrelenting efforts at animal protection and his special connection with nature will inspire animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.

And if you knew Barb, she loved Christmas!  The decorations, the cheer, but most notably the love of family, and the time to get together and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

I remember my family getting together and doing a White Elephant. The laughs and joy of being with friends and loved ones gave me thought to bring this together. So I genuinely hope that you will join us for an evening to have a great time and celebrate all that we have, have had, and with God’s mercy, will have.

Peace, Love, Joy, and Happiness!

With sincere gratitude,

Monica
