Animal advocate Debbie McFee currently lives in Hampton, Virginia. She has rescued and found forever homes for over 150 cats and dogs. She loves all animals, but finds elephants especially intriguing due to their intelligence, complex social structure, and gentle, loving ways. After researching elephants for several years, including a trip to Africa to observe them in their natural habitat, Ms. McFee wrote "Through the Eyes of Ernest" to raise awareness about the plight of captive elephants.
An English major and former high school English teacher, Ms. McFee always wanted to write a book. With "Through the Eyes of Ernest", she gives a voice to the elephants who cannot speak for themselves.
This book serves as a fundraiser and all author proceeds from Ernest's story go to help elephants in need.
