The Women Who Stand Between by Jeannee Sacken is a stunning novel of perseverance in the face of adversity. Top wildlife cinematographer Julia Wilde is working in Southern Africa when she finds herself in the line of fire. A tragic accident has left crew members dead, and she’s being blamed for it. Unable to find work in the movie industry, she goes to work at a Midwestern university but discovers she has to make a movie if she wants to stay there. What follows is a journey through the heart of Zimbabwe, following a group of anti-poaching females called the Mambas. But the poachers aren’t about to let a camera get in the way, and they’ll do whatever they must to stop Julia from releasing the movie.
The Women Who Stand Between by Jeannee Sacken is an extremely powerful novel about the strength of a woman when the world seems to be against her. Be prepared for a wonderful journey through Africa, as the descriptive writing pulls you right into the story. Her firsthand knowledge shines through as you go on an amazing journey, and you’ll learn so much while you read. This gripping story is a tribute to the women who put their own lives on the line to protect endangered species. It’s also a wake-up call for the whole world to stand up and be counted, to stop destroying the planet we live on. The characters are strongly developed into individual people, each with their own unique personality and their own stories. With plenty of action and suspense, and some romance threaded through the story too, this book won’t disappoint any reader.
