Meet Shirley the Elephant! After over 46 years in captivity, Shirley, a rare Asian elephant, began a new life at The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee on July 6, 1999 where she was reunited with a younger elephant from her circus days. Before moving to her new home, Shirley was a favorite at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo in Monroe, Louisiana where she lived for 22 years. Her remarkable true story of survival: overcoming capture, fire, and injury, are chronicled in Shirley's Story, The Heart Always Remembers. Written by Mary Helen Blanchard and illustrated by Sue Brunner, this is a book for young and old alike!
