SUMMARY:Bensalem Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Come discuss "West with Giraffes" by Lynda Rutledge at the 
 Bensalem Library. \n\n"Woodrow Wilson Nickel\, age 105\, feels his life 
 ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct\, he finds 
 himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his 
 grave.\nIt’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening 
 Europe\, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two 
 giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. 
 What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver 
 Southern California’s first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the 
 wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow. Inspired by true events\, the 
 tale weaves real-life figures with fictional ones\, including the world’s 
 first female zoo director\, a crusty old man with a past\, a young female 
 photographer with a secret\, and assorted reprobates as spotty as the 
 giraffes.\nPart adventure\, part historical saga\, and part coming-of-age 
 love story\, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the 
 grace of animals\, the kindness of strangers\, the passing of time\, and a 
 story told before it’s too late."\n\nRegistration is not 
 required!\n\n(Synopsis by Goodreads)
