  Helen and Mark Attwood both had a sense of adventure, but little did they realize that they would soon be heading off to set up an orphanage for baby gorillas in the heart of Africa, and even less that they would become embroiled in a civil war. This is the story of life with 50 or more of these most endearing animals, and survival through incredible adversity. Set in the Congo, they reared gorillas orphaned by poachers until they could be reintroduced into the wild, in a supposedly protected area.
