With romance, intrigue, murder, black magic and humour, this story will make you laugh and also bring you to tears.

Witness the wildebeest migration as the herds of animals move through the plains of Africa and Tanzania. From there the story will take you to South Africa, Europe, England and finish up in Canada. This is her family's incredible story.
