The One and Only Family
Book 4 of the The One and Only series
Ivan and Kinyani welcome unexpected twins at the wildlife sanctuary, making the famous silverback a delighted and anxious father. Caring for the infants recalls Ivan's own childhood in the jungle and the twin he lost long before the mall circus. Illness and ordinary parenting uncertainty challenge his belief that strength should be enough to keep everyone safe. Warm and bittersweet, this concluding novel suits readers who enjoy animal families, reflective narrators, sanctuary life, and gentle explorations of how memory shapes the protection one generation offers the next.
