MALAIKA

<div><br /><span>Synopsis: A middle-aged man with the crushing weight of his American past seeks peace and a simpler life in rural Kenya. Armed with only his smokes and coffee he discovers a friendship with the most unlikely of friends--a lioness he rightfully names Malaika, "Angel" in Swahili. But she is no ordinary lioness nor is he an ordinary man. Between them they share a gift. But not all embrace their bond and some seek to sever it. Discover this new world rich in human truth and sensibility.                                                                                                                                    </span><br /><span>"MALAIKA by Van Heerling is <b>one of the best novellas I've read</b> in a long time."</span><span></span><br /><br /><span>"An <b>excellent piece of writing</b> that I enjoyed immensely..." </span><span>S.

To put it short, <b>MALAIKA was quite simply beautiful and haunting</b>. It is a powerful story woven by the author in masterful prose--one that is thought provoking and <b>speaks of the power of forgiveness.</b> <b>This is by far the best piece of literature, under full novel length, I have EVER read</b>, and I cannot wait to read this author's next work. </span><br /><span> ---Author T.M Souders</span></div>
