Zuri  Africa. An orphan. A love story

This is a beautiful story of love, strength, and survival in Africa. it is a great read for young adults and older: due to the graphic accounts of animal poaching and attacks. This is also a fantastic read for anyone who knows the beauty of emotional connection with a animal as well, with humans. It has a sad truth of what is done to animals for profit but, also shows humanity at its best. the strength to survive and overcome a tragedy, has no boundary of species.

A poor young Rhino witnessed the horrible incident of her mother's murder and was injured herself. Luckily, she is found right away by talented operators of the park nearby that cares for orphaned wild animals. While she is badly injured from poachers, she is also severally grief stricken and heart broken by the horrific loss of her beloved mother. She is too young and will not eat for the humans. She has lost the will to survive. together, the humans slowly mend her physical injuries but, are unable to successfully help her with the severe psychological trauma she has endured. While desperately seeking a resolution, before they loose her for good; they end up trying an unconventional method. With the help of an unlikely friend she begins to recover from her emotional loss and begins to trust these humans and recover. As much as the humans help her, she is also helping the troubled humans. they have had to work hard together and build trust in each other. They form bonds they never knew existed. Especially, as evidence of poachers resurface and the rescuers are faced with preventing them.
