Helen Attwater and her husband Mark could never have imagined that their future would involve setting up an orphanage for baby gorillas in the heart of Africa. And even less that they would become involved in a bloody tribal power struggle. . .
This is a story of endurance among some of the most endearing animals in the world, and survival through incredible adversity. It tells how Helen and Mark formed an intimate bond of trust with the gorillas, and of compassion set against brutality. Battling local hostility, hazardous living conditions, disease and a high mortality rate among the orphans created by poachers, eventually they were able to return the gorillas to their natural home, the rainforest. A thrilling and heartwarming true-life adventure, with the extraordinary backdrop of Africa's dark heart.
