A greatly expanded version of his original work, Breath of Kenya,
Medicine, Mystery and Women in Rural Africa delightfully and
dramatically relives the experience of a lone white adventurer on
his first missionary journey to a primitive and remote African
village. Charles Herrick lives among the mud huts and strange
customs of Kenya in a manner not unlike the Africa of centuries
gone by. He comes across a creeping health malady that is killing
scores of villagers. Though not a doctor, he determines to resolve
it. Written in an engaging style that takes you from intrigue to
abhorrence, empathy to anger, the quirky humor often makes you
laugh out loud while offering a balance to the tragic occurrences
captured so poignantly and personally. In this version there is a
significantly greater focus on the women of rural Kenya captures
the eerie taboos and rituals as well as the daunting daily lives of
village women. Some of it is shocking. Some of it is maddening.
Most of it you have never heard of before. You will come to admire
the strength of the women of Kenya. This book touches the heart,
the mind and the funny bone. It is one of those books that pulls
you in, holds onto you and makes you see things a little
differently for a at least a brief period of time - but most likely
forever.
