He is prickly, remote, critical, and Starlite, anxious to please and accustomed to success, is unable to win his approval.When Renny and Starlite set out on a dangerous mission, they rescue a severely injured baby rhino whose mother has been killed by poachers. Upon their return to Kihali, they must work together to save the little orphan, now named Zuri--the word means "beautiful" in Swahili.The little orphan's courage and determination and the idyllic beauty of Kihali, gradually break down Renny's and Starlite's emotional walls. Little by little, they each confront their own painful, invisible wounds.But how can Starlite know the secret Renny guards is as shocking as the past she conceals?A KISS AT KIHALI is an inspirational story of grief, healing, and second chances.(A KISS AT KIHALI contains no sex or cursing and is appropriate for adult and young adult readers. A KISS AT KIHALI was originally published under the title Zuri.)
