Helpful Score: 2
This was a good story that showed the depth of an elephants' relationship with the people who care for her. I was touched by the elephant's struggle and Sam's love for her.
The story takes place in Washington State. Why do many of the people have Southern 'accents', a Southern way of speaking? If you read the biography of the real Hannah, Shirley, you will see that she was at a zoo in Louisiana before being taken to the sanctuary in Tennessee. I guess that is where the Southerness comes from. But it doesn't work in this setting.
