But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave. Its 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 Californias 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 worlds 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." --book jacket. 650 0 $a Reminiscing in old age $v Fiction. 610 20 $a San Diego Zoo $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Giraffe $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Animal rescue $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Automobile travel $z United States $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1933-1945 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 $a Audiobooks. 941 $a 2 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20210901145011.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20210714022026.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACCD8D44E46911EB991CA80630ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
