Zura has grown into a strong woman, and as a wife and mother, has taken on the challenges of raising a family. But Zura worries about her children and the future of the Wild Hearts Elephant Sanctuary. She wonders if she has what it takes to instill the same fortitude that she had as a child to survive in the jungle.

Deeply feeling and informative story

I learned so much about the lives of elephants and the work of those protecting them. Deeply touching, especially revealing the pain the protectors feel around the suffering of the elephants, a lesson to us all that caring can hurt but it’s worth it. It’s life. It’s love. It matters. I was also touched by the real parent-child relationships depicted throughout. Very rich. And Juliet Jones’ narration is wealthy in feeling, tone, tempo, and character voices. A real gem, all around.
