Together they founded a game reserve but after Lawrence's death, Francoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him.

On top of that, the herd's feisty new matriarch Frankie didn't like her. In this heart-warming and moving book, Francoise describes how she fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife rescue centre a reality.
