Product Description:
An elephant never forgets . . . but can she dream?
For forty-one years, Samson Brown has been caring for Hannah, the lone elephant at the down-at-the-heels Max L. Biedelman Zoo. Having vowed not to retire until an equally loving and devoted caretaker is found to replace him, Sam rejoices when smart, compassionate Neva Wilson is hired as the new elephant keeper. But Neva quickly discovers what Sam already knows: that despite their loving care, Hannah is isolated from other elephants and her feet are nearly ruined from standing on hard concrete all day. Using her contacts in the zookeeping world, Neva and Sam hatch a plan to send Hannah to an elephant sanctuary -- just as the zoo's angry, unhappy director launches an aggressive revitalization campaign that spotlights Hannah as the star attraction, inextricably tying Hannah's future to the fate of the Max L. Biedelman Zoo.
A charming, poignant, and captivating novel certain to enthrall readers of Water for Elephants, Diane Hammond's Hannah's Dream is a beautifully told tale rich in heart, humor, and intelligence.

If you have animal lovers on your Christmas list- do yourself a favor and buy a copy of Hannah's Dream for each of them! They will love you for it and if you are lucky they will lend you a copy to read when they are finished! I will never forget the characters- it was like making new friends, both animal and human. I was sad to finish it; I didn't want to say goodbye!

I just finished reading Hannah's Dream and had to let you know how much I loved the book. A truly beautiful story of relationships (especially between Hannah and her keeper) with a perfect ending. I like to imagine what they are doing now.
I work at bookstore and when I saw this book arrive, it caught my eye immediately. I have a special place in my heart for elephants as my late mother loved the animal and was an avid elephant (knick knack) collector.
I didn't get to read the book right away but my co-worker did and she couldn't stop talking about it so I put down the other book I was reading and started Hannah's Dream. Needless to say, I could not put it down!! It is so beautiful I cried happy tears. The characters will remain in my heart forever, especially Hannah the elephant and her keeper Sam.
I will recommend this to all my customers and everyone I know! This has become the number one book on my TOP TEN list! This is a definite MUST READ! You won't be disappointed.
If you loved Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen you will enjoy this one just as much!

Should I buy or just locate it at the library? Well, I bought it, read it, loved it, and now have the book to share with friends who enjoy losing themselves in a really good story. Hannah is brought vividly to life by author Hammond. I found myself caught up in her history, her needs, her fears, her care, her future. Part of a small Washington-state zoo for forty years, Hannah's caretaker, Sam, will not allow himself a much-needed retirement until he knows that Hannah is left in the best and most loving of hands. As this tale unfolds, we're introduced to any number of characters, endearing and otherwise, none better fleshed-out than Sam, Hannah's friend and, it turns out, trustee for so many years and Max(ine) Biedelman, zoo owner, the one responsible for rescuing Hannah from her fate in Burma; as the years have gone by though and the zoo, in the hands of others, has become run-down, a very real fear develops for what fate awaits Hannah as she lives out the final third of her life. You won't be disappointed, allowing yourself to become part of this story's unfolding. And you're sure to take on a different attitude toward our predilection for bringing wild animals into captivity. Max may have felt she was doing Hannah a favor forty years earlier, but what happens to these creatures as they age, as monies for their care diminish, as their day-to-day existence falls to the perhaps less-caring? These are sure to be questions you'll be asking as you come to love Hannah and Sam and the beautiful relationship that has developed between them over time.
