A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was the Great Depression and for Jacob the circus was both his salvation and a living hell. There he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but brutal animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this group of misfits was one of love and trust, and ultimately, it was their only hope for survival. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGruen, Sara:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Sara Gruen is the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eAt the Water's Edge, Water for Elephants, Ape House, Riding Lessons, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFlying Changes. \u003c\/i\u003eHer works have been translated into forty-three languages and have sold more than ten million copies worldwide. \u003ci\u003eWater for Elephants\u003c\/i\u003e was adapted into a major motion picture starring Reese Witherspoon, Rob Pattinson, and Christoph Waltz in 2011.
