Carol Batrus decided to accept a job with a non-profit in
Zululand when things were headed nowhere for her in the States. With
no special training from her prior jobs on Wall Street and in the medical industry, Batrus headed to Africa to help
promote and preserve sacred wilderness areas and native species. In
When Elephants
Fly, she chronicles her personal journey, as well as the story of the Zulu tribal communities she works with. Her
memoir shares her personal perspective on making a radical change in daily life, and explains how cultural differences
influenced her experience. Read a Q&A with the author
