Sara Gruen
Then I lie down on the horse blanket and drift into a dream about Marlena that will probably cost me my soul.
Sara Gruen
You do right by me, I'll show you a life most suckers can't even dream of.
Sara Gruen
Gorillas are in danger of being wiped out by the Ebola virus. I feel like we have limited time to get to know them and understand them and they're going to disappear - that's terrifically sad. Wouldn't it be great if we could stop that?
Sara Gruen
