‘Jamina
heard a sound. A sad and desperate cry that tugged at her heart. She
held her breath and listened...’
Jamina played hunters. She shot the mighty elephant; she tracked a
rhino and stalked a pride of lions. But then something made her stop;
a sound so sad and forlorn that she thought her heart would break.
When Jamina discovers the source of the noise, she begins a journey,
both physical and spiritual, that leads to a new knowledge of herself
and the world around her.
