Malaika

By: Van Heerling

Narrated by: Samuel R. Jones

A middle-aged man with the crushing weight of his American past seeks peace and a simpler life in rural Kenya. Armed with only his smokes and coffee he discovers a friendship with the most unlikely of friends - a lioness he rightfully names Malaika ("Angel" in Swahili).

She is no ordinary lioness nor is he an ordinary man. Between them they share a gift. But not all embrace their bond and some seek to sever it.

Discover this new world rich in human truth and sensibility.

Malaika

Wonderful book, didn't want it to end. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you.

loved it

I always love listening to and reading stories about animals. well written. great story line.

The end

As someone who loves Africa lions in particular, I found the story intriguing. The story was OK, however, I found the ending very upsetting and unnecessary. If you love lions, don’t read this.
