    About this ebook

    Amber Stevens is a journalist for a prestigious magazine in New York City. She is passionate about her work, and she is one of those lucky people who have the job and the life they have always wanted.

    A sudden phone call gives an unexpected and heart-breaking turn to Amber’s life: a car crash wipes away her world as she knows it, wrecking the very meaning of her life. For endless days and nights, Amber lets herself fade away in a pit of desperation: how to overcome the deepest grief? How to find a sense in living?

    Pushed by the affection and determination of her best friend, Rachel, Amber will decide to look for a way back to life. She will embark on a solitary and unexpected journey through the eternal landscapes of Africa, where she will walk through places, cultures, peoples, and heartwarming encounters with the wild animals of the Savannah.

    AFRICA is an intimate quest to explore the truth about people: the ancient beauty of the environment and the concrete struggles of its inhabitants will force Amber to look deeper inside her soul and rediscover her priorities. She will be constantly pushed and pulled between astonishing shows of nature and stabbing emotions, in a revealing travel across Southern Africa.

    Annalisa Conti

    Annalisa Conti lives and writes in New York City, where she has been spending the last few years of her life. She is a woman who writes about women, real human beings facing drama and challenges, finding happiness and rewards, succeeding and failing. Normal people. If you like Jane Austen for her honest humor, Gillian Flynn for her descent into human darkness, and Elena Ferrante for her focus on storytelling, you will find Annalisa’s tales wildly entertaining. She recently published her third novel, NINE. It is a modern tale on motherhood, a unique story about pregnancy, its hidden fears, and its untold truths. Her second novel, AFRICA, was an Amazon Kindle #1 in its category. Reviewers say it is a “fascinating” “astonishing” story of a life-changing journey to the end of the world, “powerful and dramatic, and well integrated into this incredible “decorum””. Annalisa is also the author of ALL THE PEOPLE, a novel built around a woman’s secrets. Reviewers say “you cannot put it down”, it is “capturing reader’s attention since the very first lines”, and it has a “very deep and accurate psychological perspective”. She publishes quarterly episodes in the collection of short stories THE W SERIES, which describe the world of W, a superhero like no other. Reviewers say it is "a classic action story but somehow very different from anything else", with a "writing style packed of action and visual clues as if it was taken right out of a Marvel comic strip". The first ten episodes of THE W SERIES have been collected in W IS FOR WONDER.
