Zoe Tryon

One Woman’s Effect: Zoe Tryon, Disturbing the Comfortable!!

Published September 25, 2015 | By Gail

The Honourable Zoe Tryon could have married a “lovely” Earl or Lord and lived in a castle.  But the Amazon called to her instead, inspiring her great passion to be a voice for the voiceless.  She has fallen in love with a people whose ancestral lands are being devastated by oil drilling, whose children are dying because their only source of water is poisoned.
