'I'm here to tell you my story, which is also the story of my people and the story of this forest.'

Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, Nemonte Nenquimo was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. She left the rainforest aged 14 to study with an evangelical missionary group. Over time, Nemonte's ancestors began appearing in dreams, pleading with her to return from the city and embrace her own culture.

She listened.

Now one of the most forceful voices in climate-change activism, Nemonte has spearheaded the alliance of Indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and helped protect over half a million acres of primary rainforest from Big Oil.

In this astonishing memoir, Nemonte partners with her husband - Amazon Frontlines founder Mitch Anderson - to reveal a life story as rich, harsh and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself.
