Requests:  4 Summary:  "'Few true friends have I known and two were giraffes...' Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave. It's 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver Southern California's first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Inspired by true events, the tale weaves real-life figures with fictional ones, including the world's first female zoo director, a crusty old man with a past, a young female photographer with a secret, and assorted reprobates as spotty as the giraffes. Part adventure, part historical saga, and part coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it's too late"--Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Rutledge (pbk) Checked out 05/31/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Rutledge   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Rutledge Historical Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Rutledge   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, LLH     in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Rutledge   Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Rutledge Historical Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Rutledge   Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Rutledge   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Rutledge   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
