Marooned in Africa is an exciting adventure set in the wild and
untamed forests of West Africa. A young female biologist is
separated from her group, and is storm-tossed on the Expedition
yacht into a huge tidal basin, alone. Paula goes ashore to explore,
where she is seen and followed by natives, who capture her and take
her far inland to be a trophy wife for their chief. Subjected to
ritual combat for status, she knows mutilation will soon follow if
she does not escape. Once into the forest, she becomes disoriented
and follows the wrong trail, ending up on a hillside full of lion
dens. Unaware that she is being followed and also stalked, she is
confronted by lions and within moments of becoming dinner, is saved
by a lone traveler. The journey back to the cove is enlivened by
animal encounters, and campfire stories that take her back to times
long gone with glimpses into the unknown and savage secrets of
Africa. Along the way a unique relationship develops with the man
who saved her from the lions, but neither one wants to be the first
to express their feelings, until an unexpected decision is made and
changes everything.
