West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge, 371 pgs

Greetings,

If you missed my email, please know moving forward I am changing the meeting time to a Wednesday at 6:30 PM. Rather than step down as organizer, I am hoping that Wednesday evening will work better and allow me to keep facilitating this awesome group.

Our next book is West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. I remember downloading it for free as a first read on Amazon and it is nice that I apparently selected a winner.

From Amazon: "An emotional, rousing novel inspired by the incredible true story of two giraffes who made headlines and won the hearts of Depression-era America."
