dual memoir from NBC Dateline anchor and veteran network correspondent Sara James and National Geographic/PBS wildlife filmmaker Ginger Mauney that explores their learning curve on life as seen through the lens of the thirty year friendship that sustained them and empowered these small town Southern girls to pursue unconventional passions-The adventures described in THE BEST OF FRIENDS are fascinating...Two women maintaining a long, intense friendship is not uncommon. It's the sense of possibility these women convey...the idea that the world is theirs for the taking-that captivates.(New York Times Book Review) Transplanting Southern roots to southern Africa, Ginger Mauney has earned the acceptance of a troop of baboons, unraveled mysteries of life and death in an elephant herd, and raised her young son in the wilds of Etosha National Park. During her career as a television journalist, Sara James paid her own way to cover the war in Nicaragua, exposed slavery in Sudan, plunged to the grave site of the Titanic, but struggled to balance work with marriage and motherhood. Though the two lead seemingly opposite lives, there is much they share. A hometown in Richmond, Virginia, an attraction to life on the razor's edge, and a past. Now, in this heartfelt memoir, Sara and Ginger alternately narrate the story of their twenties, thirties, and forties through the lens of a friendship that has spanned thousands of miles and more than thirty years, and reveal how they dared to reinvent their lives, just as it seemed that everything was falling apart.
