Lex reads aloud Rosolie's book passage rejecting the anti-human narrative and affirming that conservation heroes are 'guarding the flame amidst the storm,' then quotes Jane Goodall: 'The greatest danger to our future is apathy.' The conversation shifts into a moving tribute to Goodall, who died on October 1st. Rosolie recounts growing up dyslexic, having his parents read him Jane Goodall at bedtime, and eventually attending her NYU lecture. At the end of a long line of fans, a young Rosolie handed her a manila envelope with two chapters from a book that didn't exist yet.

I'll endorse your book as soon as you find a publisher.' HarperCollins, which had already rejected him, reversed course.
