Official synopsis Publisher
After everything that was has been burned away an elephant guides an orphaned boy on the path into what will be. The boy learns many lessons along the path to his future. I have never written a book before. This book chose me. The elephant in the story came to me in a reoccurring dream. In my dreams, we would walk together on a path. Sometimes the path took me back into my past as a boy, and sometimes it took me into my future as a man. I began seeing news reports on how elephants were being poisoned at their watering holes simply to get a few tusks. A whole herd, forty elephants, killed. It broke my heart. Every night when I went to bed, the thoughts would turn into dreams, and in the morning dreams would turn into words and pictures. It is estimated at the current rate of these mass killings that in TWELVE YEARS, there will be NO African elephants left in the wild. A portion of the proceeds of this book will be donated to www.biglife.org Please visit there site to learn about the wonderful things they are doing to help save the elephants and other animals.
