Overview

American Marissa Whitney has always found solace in her bond with Amalee, the elephant she rescued as a child. But when tragedy and violence strike her family and Nevada is no longer safe, Marissa turns to the wilds of Zimbabwe, determined to return Amalee to her ancestral home. There, she finds an unexpected ally in Mitch Laski, a former Australian Special Forces operator turned anti-poaching leader, whose commitment to protecting Africa's wildlife is as fierce as the threats they face. Together, Marissa and Mitch are swept into a world of political corruption and a vengeful cousin whose obsession could destroy them all. As they fight to save Amalee and the baby elephants of Zimbabwe, Marissa and Mitch must trust each other, and the wild land around them, if they hope to survive. From a snowy ranch in Nevada to the sun-drenched savannahs and shadowy underworlds of Africa, Daughter of Africa is a pulse-pounding contemporary adventure of resilience, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds between people, animals, and the land they call home. Will Marissa and Mitch's courage be enough to outwit their enemies and give Amalee the freedom she deserves? Or will the ghosts of the past and the dangers of the present tear them apart forever? Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith, Bryce Courtney, Tony Park and contemporary action fiction, this is a sweeping journey into the soul of Africa, where every sunset could be your last, and every dawn brings hope for a new beginning.
