But then she fell in love with conservationist Lawrence Anthony and everything changed. After Lawrence's death, Françoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him. Poachers attacked their rhinos, their security team wouldn't take orders from a woman and the authorities were threatening to cull their beloved elephant family. On top of that, the herd's feisty new matriarch Frankie didn't like her. <p/>In this heart-warming and moving book, Françoise describes how she fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife rescue center a reality. She found herself caring for a lost baby elephant who turned up at her house, and offering refuge to traumatized orphaned rhinos, and a hippo called Charlie who was scared of water. As she learned to trust herself, she discovered she'd had Frankie wrong all along. <p/>Filled with extraordinary animals and the humans who dedicate their lives to saving them, <i>An Elephant in My Kitchen</i> is a captivating and gripping read.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i>An Elephant in My Kitchen</i> is a moving and often amusing account of a life filled with compassion and resolve. --<i>Wall Street Journal</i> <p/>The writing is full of vivid descriptions that place readers in the middle of the action, making the book difficult to put down.
