Queen of the North Forest
Part 1 of the Lin Beibei Trilogy series
Lin has her life laid out-college, career, husband, child, an apartment in Shanghai-neat, complete and predictable. That is until she finds herself in ancient Australia leading a messy mob of endangered animals on a touch-and-go trek to safety. For help she has a large, incontinent wombat, a smart bandicoot, a ravenous kangaroo, four fierce, fighting birds and Arben, a young man, whose spirit and savvy upend Lin's ideas about love, life, and sacrifice.
