description: 'A great love story - an essential read for anyone interested in the welfare of our nearest relatives' - REDMOND O'HANLON 'Heart warming and thought provoking, MY GORILLA JOURNEY is a vital, well-written autobiography which avoids any kind of self-indulgence' - AMAZON REVIEWS Helen Attwater met her husband Mark while they were working at London's Royal Festival Hall. Little did they realise then that they would soon be heading off to set up an orphanage for baby gorillas in the heart of Africa, and become embroiled in a bloody tribal power struggle...This is the story of life with fifty or more of the most endearing animals in the world, and survival through incredible adversity. It is a story of how an intimate bond can form between humans and gorillas, of compassion set against brutality, and of hope and endurance.
