"In 1910, Olive MacLeod, a thirty-year-old redheaded Scottish aristocrat, received word that her fiancé, the famous naturalist Boyd Alexander, was missing in Africa. So, she went to find him. Olive the Lionheart is the thrilling true story of her astonishing journey--and her awakening to the real reason why she travelled to Africa in the first place. Drawing on Olive's own letters and secret diaries, Olive the Lionheart is a love story that defies all boundaries, set against the backdrop of a beautiful, unconquerable Africa." -- back cover.
