Water for Elephants

This is a captivating story of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932.

Jacob is situate in a nursing home, 90 years of age. A local circus visits close by, and Jacob's memories come flooding back...

A young man, Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned, drops out of veterinary school and jumps onto a passing train. He enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town.

Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus animals. He there meets the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, Marlena. Unfortunately, Marlena is married, albeit to a crazy but charismatic animal trainer. Jacob also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems un-trainable until he discovers that her secret.

The story is gritty and compelling. A good read that will draw you in!
