Amidst the bloody conflict raging in the Borno Province of Nigeria, an African Wild Dog, captured while still a pup and raised in the brutal confines of a Boko Haram encampment, forms an unlikely friendship with a schoolgirl, herself kidnapped in a raid and condemned to a life of servitude while awaiting a forced marriage to a man she has never met.
Finding love and comfort in each other, both yearn for freedom. Yet that very freedom, if once attained, might be the only thing with the power to separate them, representing to one a return to her village, to the other the draw of the wilds, and the dream of the pack that might still exist somewhere out on the dusty grasslands or concealed within the shaded glades of the deep forest.
And Some Were Lost Amongst The Trees sees, through the eyes of the Wild Dog, the world of modern man, portraying in pitiless clarity its alienation from the natural world that surrounds it, its capacity for cruelty, its arrogance and irrationality, and the flames of goodness that here and there still flicker within it.
