Words Whispered in Water is the story of how - against all odds - one woman exposed the culprit in the catastrophic flooding and compelled the news media, and the government, to tell the truth. Words Whispered in Water highlights the importance of exposing the bad behavior of giant corporations and bureaucracies whose unsavory activities affect millions of people, because once bad behavior is exposed, there is noticeably less fraud and better behavior on the part of an organization.

Finally an accurate account of the 2005 flood
Revisado: 03-01-21
This account is so well written and the research and tenacity of Sandy Rosenthall is amazing. She spearheaded a a grassroots organization to take on the disparaging information the Army Corp used to cover their own errors. Errors that were responsible for well over the loss of 1000 lives. The trauma this flood caused and the disruption of lives cannot be measured. Even 15 years later, the city is still in recovery, so many have not returned and the face and texture of the city had been forever altered. The people of New Orleans deserved better from the Army Corp and the US government.
Thank you Sandy.

Boyd Varty had an unconventional upbringing. He grew up on Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, a place where man and nature strive for balance, where perils exist alongside wonders. Founded more than 80 years ago as a hunting ground, Londolozi was transformed into a nature reserve beginning in 1973 by Varty’s father and uncle, visionaries of the restoration movement. But it wasn’t just a sanctuary for the animals; it was also a place for ravaged land to flourish again and for the human spirit to be restored.

The story line is captivating, the author brings the story to life.
The author/narrator is wonderful and so easy to listen to.
This is an important true story about rebuilding the natural habitat of Africa, overcoming obstacles on all levels, and the importance of connecting to nature to complete our lives..
