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.

My thoughts:  Tea With Elephants is a woman's fiction with two women who were best friends as teens travel together to Africa. Both of them have issues they are trying to work through on their own and needed a time away to think things through. I enjoyed getting to know them and I enjoyed the vivid details that Ms Gunn included in the story. If you like women's fiction you will absolutely adore this book. It is written in the style of her sister checked serious series. I hope to see more books of the sort by Ms Gunn. I was given a copy for you in all opinions on my own.
