Survivor's Song by Delia Owens
5.0
"At this moment, in August 1986, we pledge to each other: no matter what it takes, or how long, we will stay in North Luangwa until the elephants come to drink at the river in peace."
This book is amazingly co-authored by a strong and committed couple who live in the African wilderness and relentlessly fight for the elephants right to live peacefully in their home in the Zambian National Park that is North Luangwa. I have never had such a clear image of what the true, uncharted wilderness of Africa might really be like, this book paints a perfect and beautiful image of that, via first hand experiences.
You will continually gain respect for Delia, as you realize all the 21st century luxuries she goes without, never complaining. She is a strong, and truly wonderful woman!
Finally, this book demonstrates for me the desperate situation of the poaching which was taking place in Zambia, at the time I was born. I am a true and whole hearted elephant lover and supporter. Reading this book helped me to see the dedication that the Mark's gave to ensure the survival of these beautiful mammals.
