Taken place in the empty plains of Africa where no other animal is in sight, a male lion finds his childhood friend, an elephant who lost his memory and together they would have to survive through earthquakes, floods and wild fires to reach a valley as their new home and shelter from the disasters of their chaotic world.
This gripping non-fiction account follows the author's harrowing experience during the 2001 Gujarat earthquake. What begins as a joyous family wedding quickly turns into a nightmare as a massive 7.6 magnitude quake strikes, leaving destruction in its wake. The author recounts the struggle for survival, the desperate escape, and the trauma that lingers for years. Beyond the physical destruction, the narrative also explores deeper themes—familial expectations, resilience, and the lesson that living in the present is just as important as preparing for the future.
