    About this ebook

    “What can animals tell us about God? Do animals have souls? . . . Hunt offers a compelling story that asks both questions . . . Poignant” (Publishers Weekly).
     
    Glee Granger has spent the last eight years of her life entirely focused on Sema, a gorilla the scientist has been teaching sign language. Though Sema isn’t the first gorilla to use sign language, Glee has pushed their interaction to breakthrough levels. Technically, however, Sema belongs to the zoo where she was born—and the zoo wants its gorilla back.
     
    Unwilling to be separated from the ape, Glee joins the zoo staff and sees that it’s not as drastic a change as she first thought. That is until a near-death experience overturns everything Glee thought she knew about humans and animals, the seen and the unseen, the spoken and the unspoken.
     
    Suddenly, Glee has become the student and Sema the teacher . . .
     
    A Christy Award–winning author, “Hunt knows how to craft believable, interesting characters, and readers will find themselves drawn to the lovable Sema, the conflicted Glee and Glee’s scripture-spouting ‘Nana,’ the proprietor of a Florida motel” (Publishers Weekly).

      This was an interesting book about animal communication, but it was too sentimental for my liking. While Sema, the eight-year-old gorilla, was a sweetie, her caretaker, Glee, was arrogant and self-centred, and quite unlikeable. I think the premise was fascinating, but the author could have done a better job with the writing.
    • 4/5
      Hunt focuses on the ability of some apes to communicate in sign language in this novel about a researcher named Glee and her signing lowland gorilla named Sema.  Glee has raised Sema since the gorilla’s birth, so she is devastated when the zoo that Sema belongs to wants to take her back.  Glee hates putting her back in the zoo but soon falls in love with Sema's new gorilla companions and sees the advantages of having Sema in a social group.  That is until Sema's life is threatened in an accident and Sema starts signing stuff about a "shiny man" and "God".  Is Sema suffering from brain damage or hallucinations?  Or are her animal senses capable of seeing things beyond the physical realm, things of a spiritual nature?   Hunt has created a memorable character in Sema, one that causes the reader to think about God’s relationship with animals and how He may use and even communicate through them.  Like all of these books, it celebrates the gift that animals can be in people’s lives.
