Overview

True tales that encounter a 25 year odyssey into remote areas of South Africa. This raw journey was a transformation out of the naive role as a Mormon woman and into the many faces of fear; being alone, understanding the paradoxical heart of an ancient culture, the lure of witch doctors, exploring the intrigue of rough diamonds and the coffin-shaped head of the mamba. Along the path of twists and turns, I met Nelson Mandela, the Steven Biko family and Ela Gandhi. A passion for human justice was uncovered, this later led to the founding of a non-profit humanitarian organization, Small Village Foundation in Boise, Idaho. A portion of the proceeds in the sale of the book will be given to the Greg Carr Foundation, a restoration project in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique Contact: jeanninesmith@aol.com
