A man running away from his problems runs to Kenya and develops an unlikely friendship with Malaika the Lioness.
She is a real lion peeps. This is a sweet story but it dragged a bit. I'm not sure if I was just really tired or what but it took me a while to get through this short story. It was well written I just felt it was a bit slow at times. It read as a memoir. I came to love the characters in the book. I have to say that the one thing the author was on point with was to capture the spiritual feeling, understanding and connection between Malaika and this man who is rather lost. This story can be intense and emotionally charged which is great because it adds to the realness of the story.
I think its an enjoyable read and think that it was pretty cool for a Kindle FREEBIE! Pick it up and read read read!
