Synopsis

Award Winning Book! National Indie Excellence Winner for African American Non-fiction, finalist for General Biography. Escaping the Lion and the Leopard is based on a true story of Ghabriela who was raised in an orphanage in Eritrea and later came to this country. She said, "Honey, you can't believe the things I've been through. I can't believe them myself. You know, in Africa, there's a story about the lion and the leopard that I used to hear when I was a small child. The story goes that you see a lion and you run away from it, as fast as you can, and you find the first tree you see and run up it for shelter. You are so happy you find that tree, you don't see the leopard on top and it jumps on you and eats you up in one bite." She sat back and sighed. "Sometimes there are just no good choices - you do whatever you got to do to survive. The story of the lion and the leopard - that's the story of my life."
