FOUR As the African sun began its descent, painting the sky in fiery orange and crimson strokes, the sanctuary was alive with an air of celebration. Or at least it seemed that way for Henry.

That’s what Henry always called it when baby animals showed up at the reserve, orphaned by one means or another, whether it was because of poachers or the animal was found wandering around alone. “It’s just one of those unpredictable natures of life.” Lynette stood beside the baby elephant, holding [...]

“A beautiful story of forgiveness, love, and hope!”
