Cover of Catherine Gourley: Beryl Markham (ePUB)

Never Turn Back takes the reader on a journey into Kenya’s past and into the life of one of this century’s great adventurers-aviator Beryl Markham. Abandoned by her mother at the age of four, Markham grew up a white child in a land of lions and leopards, Masai and Kipsigis warriors. She learned early from the land and the father she idolized–but could never quite please–that the sentimental and the weak do not survive in Africa.
