Publisher's Synopsis
A child of the Rhodesian wars and daughter of two deeply complicated parents, Alexandra Fuller is no stranger to pain. But the disintegration of her own marriage leaves her shattered. Looking to pick up the pieces of her life, she finally confronts tough questions about her past, about the American man she married, and about the family she left behind in Africa. From her unusual courtship in Zambia - elephant attacks on the first date, sick with malaria on the wedding day - to the mountains of Wyoming, Fuller attempts to understand her younger self as she charts twenty years of her tempestuous marriage to the love of her life.
