The Will of Heaven

The Will of Heaven: An Inspiring True Story About Elephants, Alcoholism, and Hope

The Will of Heaven is the powerful true story of how one woman overcame a debilitating addiction–rising from the courtrooms of her past to the grass plains of Kenya as a conservation research scientist. It was there that she could finally fulfill her lifelong dream of working with wild elephants. Debbie Ethell vividly captures her serendipitous journey as she discovers her inner strength–not unlike that of the elephants whose stories she tells. Part biography, part revelation, this story will inspire others to reach further than they ever thought they could. Above all, it conveys a strong message of hope, both for the elephants fighting to survive poaching and for alcoholics fighting to survive addiction.
