She arrives at the Namibian Wildlife Refuge, Harnas, in 2012 to be in the presence of living African Lions and there meets Lion Man, Frikkie von Solms, born in the same year as she, 1945. Growing up continents away from each other, their lives reflect parallels and counterpoints of the history which shaped their respective lives in California and Nambia over more than 5 decades of the 20th Century.

The author’s use of sensory detail, poetic language, and humor transport the reader from toad collecting in Sacramento, California in the 1950’s all the way to an African star-spangled night ringing with the roars of Lions.
African Trinity
Caracal, you are a casket of red secrets
Cheetah, you, a velocity of dapple light
and Lion, you, with your wide-as-sky-soul, you are
the sun’s heart-beat on earth, on earth, on earth.
