Tea with Elephants (Suitcase Sisters Book #1)
Tea with Elephants (Suitcase Sisters Book #1): A Suitcase Sisters Novel | Robin Jones Gunn
1 post | 1 read
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.

I grew up reading Gunn's novels, so each time I read a new one it feels like putting on a comfy familiar sweater. This one took two friends on an adventure in Africa. I've always wanted to take that trip. I loved how Fern & Lily are able to truly see & help each other see the strengths in each of their lives that they can‘t spot for themselves. I'll also never forget learning the word fernweh: a longing for distant places, a yearning for travel.
