It&rsquo\;s 1938. The Great Depression lin gers. Hitler is threatening Europe\, and world-weary Americans long for wo nder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane wh ile crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a cus tom truck to deliver Southern California&rsquo\;s first giraffes to the Sa n Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow. Inspir ed by true events\, the tale weaves real-life figures with fictional ones\ , including the world&rsquo\;s first female zoo director\, a crusty old ma n with a past\, a young female photographer with a secret\, and assorted r eprobates as spotty as the giraffes.
\nPart adventure\, part histori cal saga\, and part coming-of-age love story\, \;West with Giraffes&nb sp\;explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals\, the kin dness of strangers\, the passing of time\, and a story told before it&rsqu o\;s too late.
