After twenty-five years toiling in the legislative trenches as a Capitol Hill staffer and enduring a professional crisis of titanic proportions, Nancy Lifset leaves the staid confines of Washington, DC to recapture her passion for life in the wilds of Africa,chronicling her journey with side-splitting humor.
This madcap adventure of “wildlife, wine, a whim and a prayer” follows her escapades after the fallout of the Randy “Duke” Cunningham scandal to the wacky world of a Namibian wildlife sanctuary and the lush hills of the Cape winelands country, where she takes on a whole new set of challenges.
From her encounters with an unruly, spiteful colony of baboons to her twisted exploits in the refined world of wine tourism, she finds herself in the middle of one outlandish situation after another. In her reports from the field,
Nancy pulls no punches – but takes a few of her own – as readers join her on the
rollercoaster ride that is her sojourn back to (in)sanity.
