About the Book
Ever since they met as teenagers volunteering at a conference center in Costa Rica 20 years ago, Fern Espinoza and Lily Graden have shared a close friendship, even though they live in different states. They can hardly believe it when their teen dream of traveling to Africa together becomes a reality. It’s the trip of a lifetime–but life sure isn’t what they thought it would be back when they were young.
Along with their suitcases, each woman brings along emotional baggage that weighs heavily on them. Yet the people they meet and the places they experience have the power to change their hearts–but only if they surrender to the lessons God wants to teach them in this unexpected land of emerald tea fields, graceful giraffes, and rambunctious elephants.
Pack your bags and get ready for adventure as Robin Jones Gunn invites you on a safari of the heart in this vulnerable exploration of how to move forward in faith even when the future is uncertain.

Review of Tea with Elephants
This author is one I love reading – whether it’s her fiction or nonfiction series. In fact, when I was sharing with another friend about how wonderful this book was, I was looking up the past series to tell her about as well, and found ANOTHER one of her series that I haven’t read and got all three! Tea with Elephants is wonderful. I fell in love with Fern and Lily right away and get immersed in the book from the very first page. The author is so descriptive – both of scenery as well as emotions. I felt as though I was on the first class plane ride with them, in the dark room when they first arrived after their fun taxi ride with Wanja, visiting the tea farms and heading out on the safari. I loved most, though, the emotional depth of the characters and their growth through such an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience. I will definitely be reading more from this amazing author.
I was given this book as a complimentary copy but was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine. This may end up being one of my favorite series of this author after all!
