Throwing the Bones

Throwing the Bones by Jeannine Antoniou, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform on May 29, 2013, is a compelling account that chronicles a 25-year journey through remote areas of South Africa. This edition, comprising 170 pages, presents true tales that reflect a transformation from the author’s naive beginnings as a Mormon woman to a deeper understanding of fear and cultural complexities. The narrative includes encounters with notable figures such as Nelson Mandela and the family of Steven Biko, providing insights into the rich tapestry of South African history and culture.

Readers will find a raw exploration of themes such as human justice and cultural intrigue, as Antoniou delves into the paradoxes of an ancient culture and the allure of witch doctors. The book also touches on the author’s passion for humanitarian efforts, which led to the establishment of the Small Village Foundation in Boise, Idaho. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from this book will support the Greg Carr Foundation, contributing to a restoration project in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique.
