A chic Parisienne, Françoise Malby-Anthony never expected to find herself living on a South African game reserve. But then she fell in love with conservationist Lawrence Anthony and everything changed. After Lawrence's death, Françoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him, dealing with poachers and misogynists as well as a matriarch elephant, Frankie, who didn't like her. In this heart-warming memoir, Françoise describes how she fought to protect the herd—plus a rhino and a hippo—while forging a friendship with feisty Frankie.
