“Thank you, with immense admiration, for sharing your passion for the wild and its life in this book. I found your stories to be gripping from the very first chapter. “Hokoyo”! Not a book to be put down or merely for taking a tea break. It is written straight from the heart.It sent me catapulting into memory lane, opening up many emotions and senses. Laughter, tears, sadness and frustration to mention a few. I had difficulty ending a chapter and moving onto to a new story. Perhaps this book has affected me enough that I cannot let go of the stories and feelings it has brought about… So, to keep me grounded, a good measure of consice educational information in the end is wonderful therapy. I hope your book will touch many hearts in the same way it has touched mine. Your friend and most admiring fan!” N.L. South Africa.
“I started reading your book with no idea of the experiences I was going to read about or all the emotions I was going to feel. You took me on journeys that I could never have envisaged. You wrote your book right from the heart and your love of the wild and all the wildlife is heartfelt. You have opened my mind to so many things and I wish all of mankind could read your book and know what we are doing to the wildlife and our planet. You are an exceptional person (a wonderful woman) and I thank you for sharing your amazing life and for being so descriptive in your writing that I felt as if I was there with you. Thank you Julie Anne for more than a fantastic read, thank you for taking me on an unbelievable wonderful journey.” C. J., South Africa
