A review by mssarahdee
West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge

5.0

Loved this book, the story, the manner in which it was told, the emotions invoked. Knowing this book is based off of true events and people, and seeing the love and care of animals in the most unexpected of characters filled me with such raw emotion as I was reading. West with Giraffes is a beautiful story of historic animal advocates, laced with American History Tidbits.

This story also reignited my reason for journaling, and sharing my own stories with whomever will listen. I was touched by this one particular quote: “It is a foolish man who thinks stories do not matter—when in the end, they may be all that matter and all the forever we’ll ever know.”
