Safari Heartbreak

This book took me so long to read, because the back of the book was a turn-off for me. But the book was so much better than it indicates. Terrill was a game ranger, but he let his job get between him and his wife, so when he saw she needed more than he was willing to give he sent her away. When her mother-in-law Adelaide can't take Terrill's son Crispin who sees his father one month a yr, ex-wife Fern escorts the boy to Africa. The moment Terrill sees Fern he falls in love all over again, but he treats her like she is really in the way. Fern doesn't take offence, like I would have, no she bites back so many angry retorted that I wanted to shout. Terrill is a man to take charge of everything, and he soon took charge of his ex-wife, only Crispin who waited 11 months to see his father sees little of both parents, in fact many times Terrill acts as if Crispin isn't his son. From the back of the book: 'Fern seemed secure in her new life... Then, because of his grandmother's illness, Fern had to take her son, Crispin, for his yearly month-long visit to his father in Africa-to that giant of a man, Terrill, whom she hadn't seen since their divorce five years ago. Everything was the same. Africa still frightened her-the wildness, the loneliness of a game ranger's life, Terrill's dedication to his work that had always seemed to shut her out. And Fern discovered that something else was just the same. She still loved Terrill.'
