Release Party for Elephants Walk Together by CHERYL LAWTON MALONE

Come out and help join Newtonville Books release Elephants Walk Together by CHERYL LAWTON MALONE! This event is free to attend.

As calves, Asian elephants Precious and Baba roam the wild together, curious and proud. But when they get captured and are split up, their time together seems like a distant memory. Still, separated by many miles and over many years, their friendship remains, and there’s hope they will once again roam wide open spaces together.

CHERYL LAWTON MALONE is a freelance writer, poet, and MFA grad who teaches at Lesley University and Grub Street in Boston. She and her husband live in Massachusetts.
