Sea Davidson, author
Author of An East African Saga series.
Sea Davidson has masterfully brought her father’s memoirs to life through the remarkable voices of man and beast. Their riveting life and death stories are set in Kenya during the British Colonial era in the 1950s and early 60s, the time of the Mau Mau emergency.
On a personal note, who better to write the first book in the series, Epiphanies in the Long Grass, than Sea Davidson, a wild, white woman who grew up in the African bush with three brothers?
Sea Davidson learned bushcraft from her father (who learned it from the Maasai), she became proficient with firearms (probably why Sea became an Alaska State Trooper), and she can track animals and humans alike. Sea Davidson resides part-time in the Maasai Mara, she grew up speaking Swahili and often travels alone on the Dark Continent.
EPIPHANIES IN THE LONG GRASS is not for the faint of heart!
This first book in An East African Saga series narrates forgotten stories from long ago, the perilous journey into Kenya’s dark past. The Maasai tribe considers this book to be one of the earliest written accounts of their passage into civilization, and it brings to life their stories with such clarity and breadth when they barely ‘existed.’
Most importantly, these are the ‘suspense memoirs’ of Sea Davidson’s late father, Roger Weaver. The British Colonial Government and African Inland Missions hired him for construction projects in Kenya. He brought his wife Edith, their two-year-old son David, and nine-month-old Sea to Africa, and they settled among the Maasai. Two more sons followed. Both John and Daniel were born in Nairobi, and all four attended Rift Valley Academy in Kijabe, located in the highlands overlooking the vast Great Rift Valley.
Epiphanies chronicles the last days of a man-eating lion and a big bull elephant, patriarch to a massive herd. They all die, but not before their paths entwined with Roger’s journey to survive. He became stranded in the bush for a week with twenty-five aggressive and hungry lions, one of them the man-eater, he witnessed the executions of eight Africans in Sudan while working undercover for the CIA, riveting and untold East African stories, and he ultimately realized profound epiphanies within every deadly event.
DredLion Safaris in South Africa reviewed, “Sea Davidson, you have a real flair for the dramatic. I wish more authors would write about the bush like you do. Col. Jim Corbett was also a master of bush stories.”
Thank you, my friends, for your interest in pre-civilization Africa. However, I warn you, it’s not for the faint of heart!
