A sauvignon blanc-in-hand memoir by Nancy Lifset, Back to the Wild Life chronicles this former Hill staffer’s escape from the swamps of professional purgatory in DC to the uncomplicated havens of South Africa.
After twenty-five years toiling in the legislative trenches as a Capitol Hill staffer, two years laboring in the lobbying world and enduring a professional crisis of titanic proportions, Nancy leaves the security of the working world and the staid confines of Washington, DC to recapture her passion for life in the wilds of Africa. Hop on board the “wildlife, wine, whim and a prayer” express for an unforgettable adventure filled with madcap antics and sidesplitting humor.
Follow her escapades from the wacky world of a Namibian wildlife sanctuary to the lush setting of the South African winelands, where she takes on a whole new set of challenges. From her encounters with an unruly, spiteful colony of baboons to her twisted exploits in refined world of wine tourism, she finds herself in the middle of one outlandish situation after another. Nancy pulls no punches – but takes a few of her own – in her reports from the field, and takes you on the rollercoaster of a ride that is her journey back to hope, happiness, and the wild life.
