Carrying supplies into the bush, she meets Jilu, and independent woman running a safari camp at Eland Springs. Jilu provides the support Anna needs when confronted with her conflict over tracking for the ivory hunters and the threat to the elephants. Eland Springs becomes a refuge for Anna, a home to return to where there is comfort of a loving friendship."--Back cover.
