Her childhood was spent hunting, shooting poisonous spiders with arrows, and chewing on pieces of bat-wing in place of gum. She learned how brutal nature can be, and saw the effect of war and hatred on tribal peoples. After the death of her Fayu-brother, Ohri, Sabine decided to leave the jungle and, at 17, she went to a boarding school in Switzerland—a traumatic change for a girl who acted and felt like one of the Fayu. "Fear is something I learnt here," she says. "In the Lost Valley, with a lost tribe, I was happy. In the rest of the world it was I who was lost." Here is Sabine Kuegler's remarkable true story of a childhood lived out in the Indonesian jungle, and the struggle to conform to European society that followed.</div>
