Fiction
An elephant never forgets . . . but can she dream?
For forty-one years, Samson Brown has been caring for
Hannah, the lone elephant at the down-at-the-heels Max L.
Biedelman Zoo. Having vowed not to retire until an equally
loving and devoted caretaker is found to replace him, Sam
rejoices when smart, compassionate Neva Wilson is hired as
the new elephant keeper. But Neva quickly discovers what Sam
already knows: that despite their loving care, Hannah is
isolated from other elephants and her feet are nearly ruined
from standing on hard concrete all day. Using her contacts
in the zookeeping world, Neva and Sam hatch a plan to send
Hannah to an elephant sanctuary—just as the zoo's angry,
unhappy director launches an aggressive revitalization
campaign that spotlights Hannah as the star attraction,
inextricably tying Hannah's future to the fate of the Max L.
Biedelman Zoo. A charming, poignant, and captivating
novel certain to enthrall readers of Water for
Elephants, Diane Hammond's Hannah's Dream is a
beautifully told tale rich in heart, humor, and
intelligence.
