Hear about Bertha’s remarkable life as she travels around Africa, hatching plans to free the animals she encounters, forming profound friendships, and contending with dangerous characters. Her story was almost undiscovered until I came across it in the late 2010s and was inspired to write my first fiction book Bertha’s Law. In the spirit of (almost) undiscovered stories led to the birth of this podcast series.Freedom of mind, body and spirit for all creatures was Bertha's wish. To quote Ifeoluwa in Bertha's Law: "Be free to be!" For more about Bertha's World and the author see: authorpierredurand.com Hekma Press is a traditional publishing house, launching in November 2025.
