Synopsis

This captivating coming of age story introduces you to the magical world of Lillian Drake, a young girl on a quest to discover her truth. Born and raised in Africa until the age of 10, Lill can never truly leave her past behind her. Heartbroken over the absence of her mother, Lill turns to her father, a Baptist missionary, for answers. Her striking eyes, an ivory elephant necklace, and her ability to see auras are all clues linking her to the world of Voodoo her father fears so greatly. Only when Lill’s life as a veterinarian crosses paths with an extraordinary white elephant does she find her way back to Africa to face her truth in a daunting battle of good versus evil.

À propos de l?auteur

“The White Elephant Kneels” was inspired by Roxann Gillett’s private month-long safari in the 1980s following the migration across the Serengeti-Mara in Africa. Lill’s story is based, in part, on Gillet’s own experiences, including the 12 years she spent as a wild animal trainer at Marine World Africa USA in California and a three-year stint as an “elephant broad” with Circus Vargas. She has raised and lived with 27 big cats, a mixture of lions and tigers, and one small bobcat with a serious attitude problem. Gillett taught Creative Writing on an Arts-in-Corrections grant at Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, California, for three years. The class was held on “A-yard” in maximum security. The men were the worst of the worst, all lifers, and most of them in for murder. She found it an interesting challenge, a job she thoroughly enjoyed, and a book yet to be written.
