In February 2008, Mary Morris was on the verge of a well-earned sabbatical, but instead she endured three months in a wheelchair, two surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation. When she was well enough to walk again, she begins a three-year odyssey taking Morris to India on a tiger safari in search of the world's most elusive apex predator. Her first lesson: don't look for a tiger because you won't find it—look for signs of a tiger. And all unseen tigers, hiding in the bush, are referred to as "she." Morris connects deeply with these magnificent and highly endangered animals, and at the same time more deeply with herself. Written in over a hundred short chapters accompanied by the author's photographs, this travel memoir offers an elegiac, wry, and wise look at a woman on the road and the glorious, elusive creature she seeks. Mary Morris turns a personal catastrophe into a rich, multilayered memoir full of growth, family history, and thrilling adventure.
