Join us at Alter Brewing to discuss “West With Giraffes” by Lynda Rutledge. Books are available at the Ask Us Desk one month before each discussion. For those 21 and over.
An emotional, rousing novel inspired by the incredible true story of two giraffes who made headlines and won the hearts of Depression-era America. It’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. ~Goodreads
