Saving the White Lions: One Woman's Battle for Africa's Most Sacred Animal
Cambridge-educated model and advertising executive Tucker found her calling as resident lion shaman of South Africa's Timbavati Reserve. This journal-like memoir details Tucker's life transformation including the numerous adventures and various miracles occurring before and after she accepted her role as protector of the beautiful snowy-white lion known as Marah, the Lion Queen. Amidst her personal tales, Tucker offers an important message about the white lions and why the genetic lineage must be protected. As the founder of the Global White Lions Protection Trust, she is well-qualified to speak on their behalf. The reality of the author's experience will in itself serve as evidence for her unusual point of view. The book's guiding spiritual principles, though unorthodox, will serve to educate anyone interested in the conservation of endangered species. (May)
