Excerpt from Leopard in My Lap
I was often in trouble. My love of animals was so intense that I used to lure our neighbors' pets into our garden and there hold a sort of zoological court. The proceedings were not always happy. Cats, I discovered, were not compatible With birds, so I had to have cat days and bird days. Sometimes I had insect days - much to the discomfort of my mother who disliked insects as well as spiders and snakes; and snakes were what I wanted more than anything - except lions!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the author's lifelong love of animals and how it culminated in an extraordinary adventure in Africa. From a childhood filled with dreams of exotic creatures to a career in fashion design, the author's passion for the natural world never wavered. A chance encounter with a renowned explorer ignited a love that would take her on a daring journey across the Andes and ultimately to the heart of the African continent. Set against the backdrop of a changing world, the author's experiences in Africa offer a glimpse into a vanishing way of life. Through encounters with diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes, the author's understanding of the deep connection between humans and animals is transformed. The thrill of witnessing lions in their natural habitat, the joy of connecting with local communities through dance, and the heartbreak of loss all contribute to a profound appreciation for the beauty and fragility of life. This book is a testament to the enduring power of dreams and the transformative potential of embracing the unknown. It reminds us that courage and compassion are essential ingredients for a life well-lived, and that the natural world holds invaluable lessons for those who are willing to listen.
