Zusatztext "Sometimes the most unlikely people become best friends?a wonderful book." Informationen zum Autor Sara James is an Emmy Award-winning correspondent and anchor who has reported for Dateline , the Today show, and NBC Nightly News . She lives in New York City with her husband and their two daughters. Filmmaker Ginger Mauney has lived and worked in Namibia for sixteen years. Her films have aired on National Geographic Explorer , PBS, Channel 4 (UK), and in more than fifty countries worldwide. She lives in Namibia with her husband and their son. Klappentext Transplanting Southern roots to southern Africa, Ginger Mauney has earned the acceptance of a troop of baboons, unraveled mysteries of life and death in an elephant herd, and raised her young son in the wilds of Etosha National Park. During her career as a television journalist, Sara James paid her own way to cover the war in Nicaragua, exposed slavery in Sudan, plunged to the grave site of the Titanic, but struggled to balance work with marriage and motherhood. Though the two lead seemingly opposite lives, there is much they share. A hometown in Richmond, Virginia, an attraction to life on the razor's edge, and a past. Now, in this heartfelt memoir, Sara and Ginger alternately narrate the story of their twenties, thirties, and forties through the lens of a friendship that has spanned thousands of miles and more than thirty years, and reveal how they dared to reinvent their lives, just as it seemed that everything was falling apart.
