The Lion Behind the Anthill (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923435025)

Gill Shaddick met her soulmate Mike in Central Africa. He was a reckless, optimistic and adorable biologist who matched her thirst for adventure. They set out on an itinerant life of work and travel where nothing ever quite went to plan. In Iran they lived an expat life of luxury; in Sudan they survived with no water or electricity; they had a fishing business on Lake Kariba in the middle of a war zone; in Scotland, they farmed rabbits on the remote Galloway peninsula.

Confident they could ride any storm, there was one waiting in the wings that nearly defeated them. After they moved to Australia, Mike was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. While both had the same goal - to regain Mike's health - their approaches set them apart as strangers in an unknown terrain.

Gill decided a new adventure was the only way out. The gamble paid off and brought Mike back to life and love, and The Lion Behind the Anthill was a very positive outcome.
