In A Path Unexpected, Evans shares her life, working as a journalist in the big city, then moving to the small town of Viljoenskroon in the northern Free State with her husband, Anthony Evans, a well-known and respected businessman and farmer. It is here that she created her non-profit organisation to provide education and training for the wives and children of farm labourers during the height of apartheid. Her profound influence on these families labels her as an activist for her early childhood development (ECD) and adult teaching advocacy in rural communities.

This memoir is about family, love, loss, finding purpose and dedicating oneself to a life of service.

Eloquently written and told with great sensitivity and humility, this is a memoir about how one woman’s unexpected path led to family-like bonds in the unlikeliest of places, and a dream so profound that it would impact generations of young learners and the women who teach them.

Review This Product

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 | Review by: Michele C.

The book description did not really help me decide whether to buy this book or not but I really enjoyed this memoir. I was completely unaware of this woman and her colleagues work and the organisation that they started in the Free State on the family farm, taking it to national in the rural areas. A very inspiring and easy read.
