Sila and her father are struggling. Sila's mother had to go back to Turkey because of problems with her immigration papers. She thought it was going to be a weekend and it is almost a year. Sila's father takes her with him when he goes to repair a truck. She meets the lonely elderly man who has recently moved to a home in the country. They become friends and discover a connection. When they rescue a circus elephant, they find purpose and hope again.
I loved this book! It is a very unusual story with heart and humor. The main characters are all different but find connections and friendship. I think this is such an important lesson for all of us to learn. Friendship can be found in unusual places.
