Karen Baldwin's masterful memoir reads like a suspense thriller as
this resolute American woman of "a certain age" journeys alone to
South Africa to teach Zulu children. There she encounters a
stunning resistance to change from those who invited her. Baldwin's
writing is candid, taut and relentless, as waves of cultural
tension build to an unforeseen crisis that tests her courage and
strength. -Phaedra Greenwood, Award Winning Journalist Karen
Baldwin, through raw, honest, and vibrant writing, shares her
journey to teach children in South Africa. Her good intentions are
met by strong traditions and a real Africa-not an illusion or
romanticized world-where nothing is wasted and there is little
personal space. Baldwin's journey reveals the similarities in Zulu
and American families' joys, pain, deception and love. -Dr. Andrea
M. Heckman, PhD, Cultural Anthropologist, University of New Mexico
An extraordinary story, beautifully told. Baldwin's account of her
adventure in Africa is honest, moving, frequently funny, sometimes
startling, and always compelling. This is a journey of faith, and
it carries the reader along every twist and turn in that journey
with remarkable clarity and grace. -Sean Murphy, Author, The Time
of New Weather
