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.
There
she finds refuge amongst the wildlife and wineries despite her battles with
“the dreadful creatures commonly known as baboons.” In this tale of survival of
the fittest, Lifset rekindles her passion for life…the wild life
After twenty-five years toiling
in the legislative trenches as a Capitol Hill staffer and enduring a
professional crisis of titanic proportions, Nancy Lifset leaves the staid confines of Washington, DC to recapture her passion for
life in the wilds of Africa, chronicling her journey with side-splitting humor.
This madcap adventure of
“wildlife, wine, whim and a prayer” follows her escapades after the fallout of
the Randy “Duke” Cunningham scandal to the wacky world of a Namibian wildlife
sanctuary and the lush hills of the Cape winelands country, 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 the refined world of wine tourism, she finds herself in the middle of one
outlandish situation after another. In her reports from the field, Nancy pulls no punches – but takes a few of
her own – as readers join her on the rollercoaster ride that is her sojourn back to (in)sanity.
