In the 1980s, a little elephant in Africa was given the name Amy before she began a journey across the ocean. Little did she know that this frightening time would give her an extraordinary life—an extraordinary life because of humans that love animals and dedicate their lives to them. The primary story is Amy’s life on the ranch with Bob Norris. It is heartwarming in every way. It shares a man’s patience, a man’s kindness, a man’s compassion, and how it led to a friendship beyond imagination. A friendship for an elephant far from the only home she knew, an elephant on her own, and what happened when she began to respond to kindness, trust she was safe from harm, and enjoy her daily life.
Malcolm MacPherson brings the story to life with atmospheric writing, interspersing background information and facts about African elephants to help readers understand the depth of the "remarkable friendship" and to give an appreciation of the species.
