About this listen
Two courageous young women, tied together by blood and shared passion, will risk everything to save what they love most.
For as long as she can remember, Allie Massey, a gifted physical therapist, has dreamed of making her grandparents' ten-acre estate into a trauma recovery center using equine therapy—a dream her grandmother, Nana Dale, embraced wholeheartedly. But when her grandmother's will is read, Allie is shocked to learn the property has been sold to a developer.
Decades earlier, headstrong Dale Butler's driving passion is to bring home the prized filly her family lost to the Great Depression, but with World War II looming, she's called upon in ways she never could have imagined. And while her world expands to include new friends and new love, tragedy strikes close to home one fateful night during the Battle of the Atlantic, changing her life forever.
As Nana Dale's past comes to light in Allie's search for answers, Dale's courage and persistence may be just what Allie needs to carry on her grandmother's legacy and keep her own dreams alive.

When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

These are bittersweet and sometimes funny true Romany Gypsy stories from my childhood, from 1943 to 1959. These are true Romany Gypsy stories from my childhood as I remember them, with a little bit of the author’s artistic license to make them more enjoyable. If you are looking for stories that romanticize a Romany Gypsy life on the open road, then this audiobook is probably not for you. However, if you are interested in the true life of Romany Gypsy's, you may find this audiobook interesting.

LOVED this book!
I am so lucky to be the newest owner of Hickory Hills and after reading Elizabeth's book, it makes our purchase even more special!
The story is so well written and unique with wonderful twists and turns. It addresses an area of WWII volunteers I had no idea existed. As a WWII historical fiction fan, I really enjoyed learning about the Sand Pounders and what important roles they played in protecting our country from the Nazis.
Highly recommended book with multiple interesting subject matters woven into a wonderful love story!!

My most favorite of Elizabeth’s books!
I have listened and/or read almost all of Elizabeth’s books. This one absolutely captured my heart! My most favorite! And I live how Elizabeth has incorporated personal items and family experiences into this story. Being a Native Atlantan, I loved knowing so many places that these characters went to! Enjoy!

I truly enjoyed this story and realize that there were some history that was, in fact, true with the storyline, so I learned a lot, but mostly because I love horses, and I love how much all of the characters were described and created

Surprise after surprise!
I had a hard time connecting with this book in the beginning with the story switching back and forth between the 1940’s and present day. My sister read a review that rated the book very high so I kept listening as I took my daily walk. The story is amazing! I loved it! The ending is full of surprises!
