Zeenat's Journey: For Life, Love and the Wild

By Peter John

When recently divorced Muslim mother Zeenat books a five-day safari in South Africa's wilderness, she's seeking an escape from her carefully ordered life-not a whirlwind romance with her ruggedly handsome Afrikaner guide, Andries. But fate has other plans.

Their cautious attraction explodes into desperate survival when a bull elephant in musth attacks their camp. As dawn breaks over the African bush, Zeenat must find courage she never knew she had: performing emergency medical procedures, handling a high-powered rifle, and facing down one of nature's most dangerous creatures. All while trying to ignore the growing realization that she's falling for a man who represents everything her traditional community warns against.

Set against the raw beauty of the African wilderness, this cross-cultural love story challenges preconceptions about faith, family, and finding love in unexpected places. As Zeenat navigates between her religious convictions and her heart's desires, she discovers that sometimes the greatest journeys are the ones that lead us back to ourselves.

Perfect for readers who loved "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" and "Out of Africa," this debut novel weaves together thrilling wildlife encounters, tender romance, and one woman's quest to define herself beyond the boundaries others have set for her.
