What is health? Is it being in one piece without pain, and eating, sleeping, walking? Or is there more that doesn't meet the eye? The Return of the Elephant is a novel that chronicles a woman's pursuit of health in a society dominated by conventional medicine. The heroine Eunice explores several alternative healing modalities whose emergence is an indication of the inadequacy of conventional medicine. What happens when we open our mind to try new things, to welcome new possibilities? What happens when we embark on a journey? Eunice's exploration soon becomes a personal growth journey where she learns self-discovery, self-awareness, self-empowerment, all of which are powerful tools for wellbeing. Through her experiences, some of which are mysteriously synchronistic, Eunice illustrates how her pursuit unfolds into something bigger.
