A love story set in an African animal rescue sanctuary
They rescue orphaned animals, but can they rescue each other?
“Wow! What a story. The beginning cut deep. I feared and worried during the middle, and cried happy tears at the end. A master storyteller coaxed me through a maze of fascinating, brilliant, tragic, and heartwarming twists and turns and left me feeling uplifted and satisfied, but yearning for more of the lovable Zuri, quirky Boozie, majestic Maise, and the delightful Renny and Starlight. ZURI slides to the top of my favorite books of 2020!” Sue Coletta, bestselling author

They rescue endangered animals, but can they rescue each other?
Renny Kudrow, Director of the Kihali animal orphanage in Kenya, is a renowned elephant whisperer and brilliant translator of animal communication. But human communication?
Not so much, thinks Starlite Higgins, the wildlife vet who Renny thinks is not up to the job.
Renny is prickly, remote, critical, and Starlite, accustomed to success, but who almost causes Zuri’s rescue to fail, is unable to win his approval.
When Renny and Starlite must work together to save the life of the baby rhino fatally wounded by poachers, they must face the shocking secrets they both hide—and the attraction they can no longer deny.
Meet the brave baby rhino, Zuri (the word means “beautiful” in Swahili), the sensitive, caring elephants, Doris and Maisie, who protect her, and Boozie, a mischievous young goat who saves Zuri’s life and becomes her best friend.
Get to know Ian Stewart-Montgomery, the witty, elegant half-Kenyan, half-English photo safari guide, the Kenyan wildlife authorities, string bean-skinny Jomo and strong, athletic Muthengi, and all the other human and animal friends who find an enchanted home at beautiful Kihali.
ZURI will appeal to readers who love animals, adventure, and uplifting, inspiring stories about second chances.
ZURI is suitable for a wide range of readers and contains no sex or cursing.
