Love, Life, and Elephants: An African Love Story

 Love , Life, and Elephants: An African Love Story is an autobiographical account of Dame Daphne Sheldrick's life in  Kenya. In addition to describing her family life in Africa, she discusses her work fostering baby elephant orphans, her conservation efforts, and her work over the past several decades  protecting elephants from poaching in Tsavo National Park and Nairobi National Park. The book  includes pictures of the Sheldrick family and the menagerie of animals they fostered at their home. I must admit that I borrowed the book a few months ago but it did not hold my interest. I checked it out last week to give it another try and after reading the first few chapters, I couldn't put it down and finished the entire book in two days. I encourage you to read this book especially if you have an interest in conservation and animals.
